Calling all Equine Photography enthusiasts! Come learn from two experienced equine photographers (Deb Hofstetter and Cathy Wallace ) We will teach you how to capture great horse images under various conditions, and how to work with the real world challenges of backgrounds, lighting, and horse behavior!
Join us for an unforgettable equine photography experience at Redwings Horse Sanctuary in Paso Robles! Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this hands-on workshop will teach you to capture breathtaking images of rescued horses — from intimate barn portraits in soft natural light to golden-hour shots as they roam the hills at sunset.
✨ No fancy camera? No problem! Bring your DSLR, mirrorless, or even your phone — we’ll show you how to get frame-worthy shots of your four-legged family.
📷 Learn to:
• Take stunning portraits in natural light
• Capture candid moments and movement
• Edit like a pro to enhance light, detail, and composition
• Master the magic of golden hour
❤️ This isn’t just a workshop — it’s a fundraiser that helps feed, treat, and provide lifelong sanctuary for abused, abandoned, and neglected equines.
⚡ Spots are filling fast — secure yours today and spend an afternoon learning, creating, and giving hope to horses who need it most.

What's included in this workshop?
AFTERNOON WORKSHOP ~ The PM workshop gives us the opportunity to shoot with beautiful end of day light and possibly some sunset colors, depending on the weather. We’ll start in the early afternoon with a review of equine photography, then we’ll show you how to take portraits using the shade of a barn and natural lighting along with post processing edits to perfect the final image. After an early dinner we'll head out to explore the sanctuary and find horses in pastures to photograph while the light gets better (sun lower on the horizon). We’ll wrap up when we run out of light!
