The highlight and advantage of this trip is getting very close to the wild horses for extended periods of time, both on foot and horseback, for capturing professional quality photos. This breathtaking  experience is rewarding for anyone, from clients who shoot with National Geographic equipment to others who prefer point & shoot camera or simply a phone. The learning focus is on the artistic part of photography and the anticipation of action based on reading the wild horse behavior.

 

Award winning wild horse photographer Ivana Crone will enhance your photography by sharing with you how to read the wild horse intricate social structure to be able to apply proper camera settings and framing prior to shooting. Other advantages of this trip are remote high destinations accessible exclusively on horseback between the dramatic mountain ranges of Sierra Nevada and White Mountains. The resulting views and images of the wild mustangs set against the towering snowy peaks are truly spectacular.  Ivana Crone displays her images in galleries over 3 states and her photo "Little Love Bite" won First Prize at the Alpenglow Gallery Grand Opening, Colorado 2018.

Dr. Ivana Crone has a degree in Natural Sciences, she had a part in behavioral wild mustang studies for UC Davis, leading their field trips and giving presentations. She also worked as a freelance writer and photographer on her extensive travels, having published adventure stories spanning Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda, Alaska and more through publications such as "Cowboys and Indians", "Climbing", "Transworld Snowboarding" and others (f.e.: https://www.climbing.com/byline/ivana-crone/).

She had her first-hand contact with the American mustang 30 years ago when she joined the Lachota Sioux on one of her adventure trips, and participated in the Indians' yearly round-ups of the wild herds on the Pine Ridge Reservation, and tamed and rode the 2 year old foals, with Sam Looking Horse of Manderson by Wounded Knee. These days she captures the wild horses only on film, as they captured her heart. None of her photos are taken with the help of a zoom lens. She walks and lives alongside these herds, often tracking them for days, and while understanding their intricate social structure, she is recognizing and respecting the lead stallions and alpha mares, until they accept her proximity and resume their natural behavior. The result are very intimate close up images of the free spirit, beauty and magic of the wild horse across the dusty high plains of American West mountains, interwoven with stormy skies and dramatic backdrops of snowy peaks.
