This shot wasn’t something I planned. I was out in the alpine region of Kiandra for a landscape shoot when two wild horses suddenly appeared through the mist. They were calm, quiet, and entirely at ease. One of them—this dark horse—walked toward me, slowly and deliberately, and then just stood there, staring. A0 Limited Edition 200.

There was something about the way it looked at me—steady, unbothered, and almost curious. I felt an odd sense of connection in that moment. When I edited the image later, I decided to darken the surroundings and focus the attention on the face and eyes. I wanted the photo to reflect how it felt standing there: quiet, a little surreal, and intense in a calm way.
Face to Face with Brumby is about that unexpected moment of connection. Sometimes, it’s not the landscape that stays with you—it’s the unexpected encounters that happen while chasing it.
