How I Became a Full-Time Traveling Horse Photographer

I’ve spent more than 10 years trying to turn photographing horses into my full-time career, and I definitely took the long way around. In my very first YouTube video, I’m taking you back to where it all started: borrowing my mum’s camera as a kid, photographing horses for friends, working other jobs while building my business, and eventually travelling around the world to photograph horses for a living. It didn’t happen overnight, and for a long time I wasn’t entirely sure it would happen at all. I hope sharing the road that got me here gives you a better idea of the person behind the photographs, and perhaps something useful if you’re trying to build a creative career of your own. If you’d like to follow along, I’ll be sharing much more from my life as an equine photographer here, from the stories behind my photographs and the way I work with horses, to future photography travels and life on our newly purchased forest farm in Denmark. Thank you for being here at the very beginning 🤍 Find more of my work: Website & fine art prints: https://www.katjajensen.com Retreats: https://www.katjajensen.com/pages/ret...
