2024 was an exciting year for me as a photographer, from remembering to enter photography contests to actually doing well in them. One of my dreams as an equine photographer is getting my images used by Horse’s Illustrated and 2024 made that dream a tiny reality in a contest that they ran.
Horse’s Illustrated is putting out a free downloadable 2025 calendar and ran a contest to cultivated the images used for it. For fun I entered several images that all made it through to the final voting process by the public. Through that voting process one of my images was selected and given the month of May.
It is an incredible honor to get an image in their free calendar, it gives the confidence boost and extra drive to try and land an image in their magazine or maybe perhaps their print calendar for 2026? Anyways wish me luck because as I cross one goal off bigger goals take their place!
