Wild Horses of America

Handmade Silver Gelatin and Platinum Prints of American Wild Horses.

I am driven by the belief that art, beauty, and truthful documentation can change how people see wild horses and conservation. Through my handmade fine art analog prints, field notes, and storytelling, I work to deepen awareness of wild horses across America, honor their lives on the land, and encourage lasting care for their future.

Using traditional analog darkroom methods, I create large handmade silver gelatin wild horse gallery prints that carry the presence, movement, and spirit of the horse in a way digital prints cannot.

These are not mass-produced images. Each print is made by hand in the darkroom, one at a time, with care, patience, and craft.

As far as I know, I am the only photographer exclusively creating handmade analog silver gelatin prints of wild horses through a fully analog process. From exposure to final print, every step is done by me and nothing is outsourced.

A Fine Art Print Project Rooted in Freedom, Strength, and Place

This body of work begins with the wild mustangs of the American West — horses that still move through the land with power, tension, and grace. Over time, the project also follows the lesser-known wild horses of Missouri, whose story deserves to be seen and remembered.

My goal is not simply to make horse pictures. My goal is to create meaningful fine art prints that honor these animals as part of the American story.

Why These Prints Are Different

Each print is made as a traditional silver gelatin print in my darkroom. That means real photographic silver gelatin paper, real chemistry, using a pure analog handmade process.

The large print size gives the image room to breathe. It lets the strength of the horse, the shape of the land, and the feeling of the moment come alive on the wall.

Collectors who live with these prints are not buying something common. They are buying a handmade object created slowly, physically, and intentionally.

Handmade in the Darkroom

I work with analog photography because it slows everything down. I want the final print to feel honest, grounded, and lasting.

From the exposure in the field to the finished print in the darkroom, every step is part of the work. The final silver gelatin print has a depth, richness, and presence that fits the subject perfectly.

From the West to Missouri

The American West may be where many people first connect with wild horses, but it is not the only place their story lives.

In Missouri, a lesser-known population of free-roaming horses still survives in the Ozarks within the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. I am committed to documenting both the iconic and the overlooked — the wide-open drama of the West and the quiet endurance of the Missouri horses.

For Collectors

These prints are made for people who want more than decoration. They are for collectors who value craftsmanship, rarity, and the emotional presence of a handmade photograph.

Available editions will include large silver gelatin prints, with select small platinum editions offered for collectors seeking something especially rare.
