Trick Riding is an extremely dangerous equestrian sport which requires maximum skill and trust both in the rider and horse. When I was approached by two Stafford based Trick riders who are sisters to capture them some Trick riding imagery I knew the method of capture had to match the drama and adrenaline contained within the subject. So I knew from the off it had be be a mixture of off camera flash and ambient exposure to truly draw out the best from the image and the subject. After observing the line they take for the trick I set up three lights to correctly illuminate the subject whilst under exposing the ambient in order to create maximum drama within the ambient exposure and turning day to night.
