This series was planned for a year, in search of the perfect moment. Between studying the position of the sunset, choosing the ideal setting, and the presence of the horses, every detail was planned so that light and movement would meet in a single instant. With a super telephoto lens and a 2x teleconverter, the sun was transformed into an immense golden stage, where the silhouette of the horse seems to exist within the light itself. In the instant of rearing, strength and freedom unite with the delicacy of the late afternoon, creating a scene that seems suspended between reality and dream. More than photographing an animal at sunset, this project speaks of waiting, connection with nature, and the emotion of witnessing a moment impossible to repeat.
