Through the practiced lens of Grand Rapids, Michigan-based photographer Dave Thompson, captures Icelandic horses trotting through a snow-covered Michigan field become a breathtaking symphony of movement and light. Dave's hallmark is his ability to harness natural elements: the brilliant snow, atmospheric haze, and kinetic motion and shape them into a composition that feels both wild and intentional. In this image, his fast shutter work freezes the horses mid-stride with crystalline clarity, while the capture of the sharp winter light helps the viewer feel the day's frigid air. This photograph speaks to his mastery of timing and his instinct for capturing animals in their most authentic, unguarded beauty.
