Sandy Kaplan is always reaching for something new for the sake of discovery. When it comes to her subject matter, her preference — even passion — is for the animals, especially horses. Regardless of the country she’s in or the breed, Sandy is emotionally moved by the power and strength of horses. Whether they are standing still or on the run, Sandy earns her way into their world and aims her lenses in search of their true character, capturing unique insights that portray beauty and individuality. Often placing herself in potentially dangerous situations, Sandy has been amongst stampeding wild horses, and in one-on-one “conversations” with a prized Lucitano Stallion. Her decades of experience as a fashion photographer ensure that every encounter is documented by the appropriate f-stop and shutter speed. The result: spontaneous images that lead the viewer out into the desert heat or cool morning fog to behold extraordinary equine magic.
