About Gabriele Boiselle

Gabriele Boiselle is a prolific photographer well known for her books and calendars - not just of horses but also of wildlife. Her travels have taken her all over the world. She has lead photo workshops in places such as Russia, Portugal, Morocco, Egypt, Africa and Poland. For 25 years Gabriele has traveled the world to discover and document the universe of the horse, from the Namibian desert and the wild horses there, to the Gauchos in Argentina and the Criollo horses, to Iceland and India, to Lesotho and the Basuto pony and to Indonesia and the Zumba pony. For many years she photographed all manner of equestrian sports documenting a child’s first ribbon to the Olympic games and other international competitions, making her one of the most versatile and widely published photographers working today.

Gabriele's main mission in her photographic work is to capture the soul and essence of the horse. She will share and convey this passion and knowledge with the workshop participants.

“Horse photography is something for crazy enthusiasts and horse lovers close to madness” said Boiselle. “If you are not burning inside to make good pictures, if you are not willing to cross rivers and get up in the middle of the night and prepare horses for a shoot, you will never achieve the satisfaction in making very special images. I am eager to share my insights and experience with you during the seminar. And I promise you, you will be dreaming in the night of horses. We will think, love and photograph horses.”
