22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Horse Whisperer

A documentation of horse lovers and their emotional bonds together. This image was taken in Portugal in the spring 2024. A girl and her beloved horse. It made me think of one of my favorite childhood movies, “The Horse Whisperer” where there was a young girl and her horse and how they got through a traumatic event with patience, trust and healing. How this can be reflected to many aspects of life. And inspire others with their love and their bond. I think it’s something we can all look up to. That’s why I want to inspire others with my images, so they can identify and relate to the emotions there.
