Based in the rural Pennines, Esther is an award-winning photographer and encaustic photography artist. Photographing horses is a way of life for Esther over most of her career as she has dedicated her time to photographing horses and other animals. Esther’s considered approach toward her subjects and artwork allows her empathy and understanding of horses to shine through.

Esther went to Swansea University, studying sculpture, painting, and photography culminating in her mixed media photo-encaustic work. Prior to becoming a self-employed artist, she worked as a Forensic Photographer at Greater Manchester Police and later at the UK Forensic Scientific Service.  After a role which often sees the darker side of humanity, Esther soon returned to the peace of being amongst horses in their natural world.

Her work exclusively uses archival fine art papers, printed by hand and professionally crafted.  Her limited-edition photography prints are available to purchase directly, in exhibitions or via her online print shop. Esther also enjoys helping and supporting people of all ages on their photographic journey by creating workshops centered around horses.

Esther’s photography is renowned for capturing the heart, soul, and beauty of all horses from domesticated to wild. This has also extended into animal advocacy, working alongside animal charities such as ACE, HAPPA, and the RSPCA. Esther is proud to have created artwork raising awareness of animal welfare issues. Esther is also a proud associate member of Ebor Studio/Gallery and Paard Verzameld.
