Once I had a crazy idea to take a photo of a horse from underneath, today I have results from my most difficult photoshoot I have ever had. It all started with a project Under-Cats. After it reached a high interest I decided to make a far bigger project.
I looked for different examples of what was done on the internet and after no similar results I decided that I have to do it and be the first person to shoot a standing horse from underneath. As I started to organise the photoshoot of a horse, I knew that all I needed is to get 600 kg horse on a glass, dig 3 meters into the ground, put my camera under a big glass and take a shot. Even though it was the same concept as project "Under-Cats" it took two months to organise it all. I have found horse-friendly environment and even made rubber horse shoes, to save the glass from scratching.
If last time I needed help from one person, this time I had more than 40 people crew to make this crazy project come to life, which I could not make without them. In the end we got these fascinating photographs that have never been created before. If you're interested, the prints are available here.
I wish you to get inspired and believe in your ideas, as my team believed in this project.

Beautifully done but disturbing somehow. I am riding all my life and underneath is where I don't want to be, ever. :)
What an INCREDIBLE idea! I have owned horses all of my life. It is wonderful to see this perspective!
Is it possible to buy prints somewhere? I want pictures of the underside of animals for my living room!
what interesting art! Keep doing what you love !
I love your photos and the idea. But a black horse in front of black background is an optical problem...
I would have been terrified to take the pictures and be under such big animals! These are really terrific pictures though.
Wow! The cats were fun but this is just crazy cool! Thank you for sharing your amazing work!
Every horse is like: what the hell are you doing down there photographing my genitalia, creep!!
Amazingly beautiful, original and fun photographs! I wonder, are the horses standing on glass?
They're amazing photographs and the person who took them has some serious skills but, I don't know why, I just don't seem to like them much... Horses are my favorite animals, I'll always love them but these photos just didn't catch me, I have no idea why
