Some of the work Erik does behind the camera doesn’t just end up on a hard drive or on his website. It also becomes art.
“One of the really exciting things about my work is that I have discovered how my reportage images from competitions and other projects develop from being a documentary testimony to suddenly becoming artistic design. I’m not the one suggesting this, but moreover my customers who think that the images are suitable for the title ‘a form of art’”, he says.
For example, several Erik's photographs have been used on silk scarves, wallpapers and enlarged for displays at large horse shows. In other words, the images are being used as artistic design.
"As a photographer you’re always excited when your photos are published, but to be able to have them also be used in an artistic setting, that is a wonderful new angle", Erik concludes.
Erik Kunddahl has dedicated his life to the graphic as well as the photographic-and to the horses. With thehelp of horse owners such as military rider Vicky Mathiesen and show jumper Tina Dufour, he hasphotographed horses and riders in countless, special settings around the world.“My collaboration with many different riders and bloggers has developed my way of working.
