One of Sport Horse photographers who has been helping at most shows is the Internationally experienced, Anthony Trollope. I treasure his expert eye for photos and I know all the riders do too. We both worked over in London for the Olympics so look for our images through multiple horse media outlets including US Eventing magazine. When Anthony is not available then Amy Dragoo sometimes steps in. Both are amazing in their own right-- and its cool to have different points of view in imagery. And now in her 4th year of photo assisting is the amazing Alleyn Evans, an photo/artist from New Orleans also with a background in horses.

Here is some happy news in case you get to visit New Orleans in 2013 -- Preservation Hall is celebrating its 50th year anniversary at the Mint Museum with a giant exhibition. My part to play in this show are 65 large art photographs made at the Hall between 2002-2011. We have a whole wing in the museum which contains historic vintage images, audio to listen to (from interviews made with the musicians by NPR interviewer Eve Abrams), video and instruments including Louis Armstrong's first cornet and so much more. Eve Abrams and I also made a book published earlier this year by LSU press. Its a gorgeous full color book filled with images and quotes from the musicians. Buy the book here: http://shannonbrinkman.zenfolio.com/p38738216/h2ab97dd#h2ab97dd I will sign it personally!

This site is friendly to Canadians- you can order too-- please pick the image(s) you like and click open featured products-- change USD to CAD and the shipping too and you will be set to order normally from there.

Special Note to riders with sponsors looking for images~ You can alleviate some of your precious time working with sponsors-- if your sponsor needs a special image for your campaign - please have them email me directly! If you have a favorite image let me know but if not I will pick the best images -- ones where you look great in riding style, gesture and face-- the sponsor and I will work out the price for their budget. One less big step you need to do. This is part of my job.

And final note:
***** On this new site there are only a few horse shows loaded as of yet--but the following shows will be added from 2009 through 2010 like Red Hills, The Fork, Jersey Fresh, Fairhill International, Rolex and the 2008 Olympics as time allows. If you would like to see images from a certain competition from any time after 2006 please let me know and they will be posted right away. Also, I keep all negatives and show programs from all shows starting from 1991. Yes, my closets are full!

Please let me know how best to help you. I welcome all feedback and questions.

Enjoy and Happy Riding!
