Photographer Drew Doggett’s latest series, Icons, powerfully explores horses in ethereal and ancient settings. This 28-image print series, Doggett’s newest addition to his global documentation of horses, offers a nuanced and captivating look at their grace, strength, and lasting cultural impact.
The studio of award-winning fine art photographer, best-selling author, and filmmaker Drew Doggett is thrilled to announce the release of Icons, his latest series. Icons illuminates the beauty of horses in scenes existing somewhere between reality and fiction.
This series is a bold, visionary look by one of the most preeminent photographers of these animals. Each image borders on the surreal by incorporating ancient architecture, delicate fields of lavender, off-white, natural backdrops, endless expanses of salt flats, or epic, otherworldly rock formations. These images hold a sense of magic, revealing the heart and soul of these beloved animals at the tenuous edge of fact and fable.
Beyond the breathtaking, fantastic natural backdrops, other images invoke the wild freedom of a life spent on horseback and the dream of the West that is central to the American story. There are also portraits of Friesian horses, a breed of jet-black animals with silken manes and sheeny coats that feel both masculine and feminine at the same time. The images in Icons are rendered in Doggett’s signature tone, texture, and detail, bringing a timeless story to life in a richly evocative black-and-white palette. It is the latest addition to his best-selling equestrian photography.
