THE BIG 2024 ROUND-UP
- FIONA MOORE PHOTOGRAPHY -

 

 

2024 was yet another amazing year jam-packed full of Equine Photography; so I wanted to write a quick Blog to summarise the year, ahead of this year's Awards Evening to celebrate the main highlights of 2024!

Let's take a closer look at 2024.

Over the course of 2024, there was a grand total of 68 Photoshoot Sessions, which when broken further down, is approximately:

 

 

- 112 Horses
- 76 Humans
- 18 Dogs
- 3 Flocks of Sheep & 1 Bull (really!)

 

 

So, I think it’s safe to say that 2024  was certainly a busy year!

Over the course of the year, I met so many lovely people and photographed beautiful horses, from huge Clydesdales, right down to tiny Shetland ponies and almost everything else in between!


Please enjoy this short montage showcasing some of my favourite photographs from the year.

In May, I decided to join ‘The Guild of Photographers’.

 

Over the course of the year, I took part in their monthly Photography Competition. And over the course of 7 months, I accumulated 16 Bronze Awards, 5 Silver Awards & 1 Gold Award.
And before Christmas, I was informed that 4 of my images had been nominated for ‘Equine Image of the Year’.

 

The Guild is a highly respected UK based association for photographers, which also welcomes overseas members. Each year, its monthly photographic competition is judged by internationally respected judges, with awards given to the best entries each month. This year, the competition attracted c10,000 entries alone.

 

I’m super excited to be attending their Awards Evening on the 1st of February, and I am totally thriled with my achievements last year. I'm really looking forwards to the Gala Event; it's a great excuse to get dolled up (no jodphurs allowed!) and enjoy an evening of celebrating amongst some of the UK's most talented photographers!

 


Last year, I also hosted a Charity Raffle for ‘The Healing Horse Sanctuary'.

 

The 'Healing Horse Sanctuary', based in Bromsgrove, had unfortunately found itself in very difficult, unforeseen circumstances at the start of 2024. After hearing about this via social media, I wanted to help out in anyway that I could, particularly with it being a local Charity, too.
Over the course of a few weeks, we managed to raise a fantastic £225 total for the Sanctuary!
The money raised from this helped to fund the care of several rescue horses & ponies that are kept at the centre; aiding with funding their daily feeds, hay and supplements.
So a huge 'thank you' is in order to those of you who participated in this and helped to raise those all important funds.

 

 

This year, I will be helping to raise funds for the Retraining of Racehorses.

The RoR is British horseracing's official charity for the welfare of horses who have retired from racing. Their mission is to safeguard the wellbeing of all former racehorses, by helping them to find new purpose and loving homes. The RoR also offers retraining and rehoming support, as well as welfare programmes for former racehorses to ensure they have a dignified and fulfilling life after they stop racing.

Any Black Background Photoshoot Booked from now to the end of February, with an Ex-Racer, £15 from the Photoshoot Fee will be donated to the RoR.

 

 

 

 

 

If you own an Ex-Race horse, and would like to help fundraise for the RoR and receive beautiful portraits of your Thoroughbred in return, then click the link below to get in touch & book your Photoshoot Session.
