As page after page presents extraordinary artistic shots, Shelley S. Paulson provides the technical discussions key to learning how better to approach and shoot the horse through all kinds of seasons and environments, both indoors and out. Any photographer who would move beyond basics into equestrian scenes must have this invaluable, very specific reference. Diane Donovan
