Once I had a crazy idea to take a photo of a horse from underneath, today I have results from my most difficult photoshoot I have ever had. It all started with a project Under-Cats. After it reached a high interest I decided to make a far bigger project. 

I looked for different examples of what was done on the internet and after no similar results I decided that I have to do it and be the first person to shoot a standing horse from underneath. As I started to organise the photoshoot of a horse, I knew that all I needed is to get 600 kg horse on a glass, dig 3 meters into the ground, put my camera under a big glass and take a shot. Even though it was the same concept as project "Under-Cats" it took two months to organise it all. I have found horse-friendly environment and even made rubber horse shoes, to save the glass from scratching.

If last time I needed help from one person, this time I had more than 40 people crew to make this crazy project come to life, which I could not make without them. In the end we got these fascinating photographs that have never been created before. If you're interested, the prints are available here.

I wish you to get inspired and believe in your ideas, as my team believed in this project.

    I have a question.. How do you capture photos of the horses from underneath? It must have to do something with glass though...

    Did they just like, put these guys on glass and shoot underneath it? Cute idea. Should do that with dogs and cats too. 😀

    I can tell certain pics are ponies. Ponies ALWAYS have more outrageous personalities!
