Announcing the First International Horse Photographers Blue Bonnet Photo Shoot. 21 of the industry’s leading equine photographers from various countries will be gathering (May7-10) in the beautiful Texas Hill Country.

The event, the combined brainchild of internationally recognized photographers, Charles Hilton, Candace Craw-Goldman and Andrew Wheeler was created to give professional horse photographers an opportunity to shoot Cowboy and Western themed commercial imagery in a creative and open-minded environment with other top professional horse photographers.

With a minimum of 3 days of shooting in a wide variety of unique locations in the Texas Hill Country which include settler's buildings, forts and other Western period structures, photographers will have access to livestock as well as Western themed shoots such as staged gunfights and a cowboy wedding and will be able to create imagery that has commercial potential for advertising and editorial usage.

There will also be discussions on post processing, equipment usage, self promotion and business discussions that are specific to the photography business.
