Description
In Mary McCartney's largest body of work to date she pays tribute to the extraordinary beauty of her white stallion, Alejandro. Over the course of four seasons McCartney captures the strength and grace of his form against an idyllic English country landscape. Using an 8x10 camera for formal portraits as well as 35mm and smartphone cameras for candid images, she profiles a year of equestrian life from on and off the saddle. These intimate pictures convey the special relationship between horse, rider, and nature, and offer a profound insight into the connection that binds us to these majestic animals. Lavishly illustrated, the reader is taken from charming stables to fields of lush green grass and the dappled light of forest trails. McCartney's unique eye paints a loving portrait of a horse and a lifestyle that continues to inspire all over the world.
