EP126 Louise Sedgman | The Art of Equine Photograhy

Louise Sedgman gallops through equine portrait craft, from embracing softness and motion to staging a “Black Beauty” night scene. She breaks down her switch to the Nikon Z8, lens choices for safe, flattering horse work, and the systems behind a thriving Santa photo operation—bookings, sets, lighting, tethering, and delivery. We also cover her mobile pet studio, the “Golden Oldies” dog project, and an upcoming Morocco masterclass. Packed with practical workflow tips and creative spark. =========================================== Louise is a devoted mum, wife, and creative soul living in Drouin, Victoria. A lifelong horsewoman and artist, she could draw horses before she could even write her name and her love for them has only grown stronger over time. What began as sketching her beloved animals evolved into a deep passion for photography when her mum gifted her a camera in her early twenties. For nearly 30 years, Louise has dedicated herself to mastering the art of photography, capturing the beauty, strength, and emotion of horses and the profound bond they share with their people. Her work celebrates real, timeless imagery, the kind that becomes treasured family heirlooms passed down through generations. Beyond her photography, Louise loves to share her knowledge and creative spirit with others. Through her workshops and mentoring at The Foto Creative, she helps photographers of all levels discover their own artistic voice and connection to the world around them. For Louise, photography is more than a profession; it’s a lifelong journey of passion, emotion, and storytelling. https://louisesedgmanphotography.com.au/https://www.instagram.com/louisesedgmanequinephotography/https://www.facebook.com/thefotocreative ===========================================THE CAMERA LIFE - LIVE PHOTOGRAPHY PODCAST===========================================➡Blog: https://luckystraps.com/the-camera-life➡YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@the_camera_life ➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/the_camera_life_podcast➡Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1dC4kPNrLORz2ASrukyOS5?si=18c6fd2534cf4d97➡Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-camera-life/id1760304677 ===================================================LUCKY STRAPS - THE BEST CAMERA STRAPS ON THE PLANET===================================================✅ Quick Release System✅ Anti-Theft, Cut-Resistant and Safety Lock✅ Super Comfortable Genuine Leather✅ Australian Made and Lifetime Guarantee a✅ Personalise with Your Name or Logo✅ Owned, Designed and Used by Working Photographers SHOP NOW https://luckystraps.com/(Use code for 15% off - Codes are JUSTIN JIM or GREG - Which host do you like the most?) ================CONNECT WITH US================Greg Cromie - Writer and Photographer➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/gcromie/➡Greg's Blog: https://gregcromie.blog/ Justin Castles - Photographer and Founder of Lucky Straps➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/justincastles Jim Aldersey - Wedding and Boudoir Photographer➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/jimaldersey/➡Wedding IG: https://www.instagram.com/weddingsbyjim_/===================================================
