The story behind the photo
Two Henson horses at the end of the day in the Parc du Marquenterre, standing in reeds that reach their chests, heads close together. The frame is horizontal and I deliberately left a great deal of dry vegetation in front of them: the picture is about an animal seen through its habitat rather than above it.
The Henson is a recent breed, created here in the Baie de Somme in the second half of the twentieth century for riding in the marshes, and it looks exactly like what it is, a horse shaped by wet ground and wind. The dun coat, pale with a dark line along the spine, is almost the colour of the reeds, and at that hour the two become difficult to separate.
The light is low, warm and nearly horizontal. It passes through the reed heads instead of falling on them, so the foreground glows while the background stays dark, and it gives the picture a depth no frontal light could have produced.
What I felt there was the calm of animals with nothing to do. They were not grazing and not moving, simply standing together in the last warmth of the day. My intention was a portrait of a landscape and of the animal that landscape invented.

Materials
Hahnemühle fine art papers (Photo Rag, Museum Etching, Fine Art Baryta…), chosen for each photograph.
Print mounted on 3 mm aluminium Dibond: rigid, light, no glazing.
Print set between 3 mm Dibond and an acrylic sheet: richer colour and depth, resistant to UV and humidity.
Framing, optional
For paper prints: white mount and Plexiglas glazing, museum glass optional. The mount puts space between the photo and the frame: a classic, understated look that draws the eye to the image.
For aluminium and acrylic, black or white. A narrow gap separates the photo from the moulding: it seems to hang suspended inside its frame, for a contemporary look.
For aluminium and acrylic: an aluminium structure fixed to the back, invisible once hung. The photo seems to rest on the wall, slightly set off from it.
