Sometimes you can easily get to throw the powder, and other times you only get to put a tiny bit on the horse's fur and then blow at it a little. So, it is actually necessary for the horse and owner to train before a Holi photoshoot

"I love the different effects you can achieve by using Holi powder and how it can reflect the character of the horse. The powder is spectacular in itself, and it makes the horse appear even more spectacular which is the exact intention"

"Jacque Toffi is known for taking pictures with very special effects and unusual angles. Working with him has inspired me to try to do something different. I love to experiment"

Besides being a successful horse photographer, Andrea works as Managing Editor at "Reitsport Magazin". 2014 she worked intern of the world-renowned horse photographer Jacque Toffi who became her mentor and her biggest inspiration. In her work she always tries to find new creative ways to photograph horses and combines techniques that can usually only be found in human fashion photography.

Here you get a sneak peek at some of the beautiful photos.
