Astrid Harrisson Fine Art Photography

Astrid is an international photographer who travels to all corners of the globe, from the mountains of Mongolia to the foothills of the Andes, in a bid to understand more about horses and the cultures where they are found. Astrid’s work is regularly exhibited and she has representation in London, Dubai and the USA. Her work was recently published in international title "The Majesty of the Horse". For the most part, Astrid releases small editions of her images as archival prints and offers a bespoke service with her international collectors. "My portraits are largely dynamic, realistic representations of animals – in particular, horses. I work intimately, taking the time to build a rapport with my subjects. In the wild this is less possible, but understanding that the animals I am photographing will be aware of my presence and fully assertive is in itself of relevance and a relationship that defines the final portrait I create. A portrait is, by definition, a collaboration between subject and artist and the resulting piece is a represention of sentience, of beauty, of power, of history. I want to give animals the opportunity to share their stories; to connect unknowingly with global audiences where the language of images provides no barrier and thus help to conserve and preserve the sentient souls of the animal kingdom.”
