Emily Hancock - part 2 of 1 2 3

The last couple of years have also seen Emily work on building a fine art collection of equine images that are on sale as limited edition prints. 'I've had great success selling my work in galleries across Europe; it means that every year I can plan to do two big trips abroad where I just focus on shooting fine art work.

'I've been to America a few times now, California was my last trip and I've just come back from Spain. I've also shot in Camargue in the South of France. I'd love to go to Mongolia because they have the only true wild horses left in the world but Dubai is high on my list too! I go with friends and we spend a week or more shooting every day, morning and evening. All the contacts for the horses I shoot abroad I have found through my clients.

Once I've built up a good relationship with a client in the UK I'll ask them if they have any contacts somewhere that I want to go and really it all goes from there.'

But sometimes the most exciting moments happen closer to home. There are many photographers with stories to tell from the London Olympics last year, but not all of them can boast that they have photographs of their son trying to eat a gold medal! Emily had been fortunate to photograph Charlotte Dujardin four years before she won two gold medals at the Olympics for dressage. Of course this was before anyone knew that she would be an international equestrian superstar! The opportunity to photograph Charlotte came again after the Olympic hype had died down.

It offered Emily the chance to produce some beautiful studio portraits of Valegro, Charlotte's gold-medal-winning horse. 'I keep saying my equine clients are loyal, but it's true. That week alone Charlotte had seven other photoshoots for big brand names, but for her personal photography collection she wanted me to do it.'
