The original photo The Horse Kiss was created in the north-west of Russia in the Republic of Karelia. In the summer of 2017, I was visitor at a private stable in Lahdenpohja, where I met beautiful people, but I was even more impressed by their amazing animals - horses, there were only 8. In the short time that I spent in the stable, I was able not only to get acquainted, but also get the first riding skills, make a horseback riding in the natural habitat of these animals. Of course the most amazing is the greate positive emotions that you get from contact with these charming, graceful creatures of nature. I believe that I was very fortunate that I could stop the sincere moments from the life of horses, to save a piece of these unforgettable emotions and to bring them to the viewer through photography. I deliberately did not use artificial lighting and tried to show animals in their natural habitat, although at times this was reflected in the technical quality of the image. I deliberately did not use additional computer processing of frames, trying to preserve the natural harmony, relying on imagery thinking and viewer intellect, also excluded their color content. I hope that the viewer will be able to understand and appreciate the main line in these plots - the power of unique, emotional feelings from empathy to these charming creatures of nature. In this story, we get acquainted with the horses of Dada and Percy, who are very like to taste delicious. But such pleasure gifts are not often and if this happens, then their gratitude can go beyond line. This artwork is published for the first time and its print's history is absent. Black and white photography is available for purchase in hard copy and in a limited edition with an author's signature.
