Program: “Equine Photography in the Wild” by Claire Porter
Claire Porter lives in the Texas Hill Country, southwest of Austin, Texas.
She received a BFA from Southern Methodist University focusing on Photography, Painting and Etching.
She is passionate about creating emotional equine photographs, photographing horses in all the western states, Canada, Tunisia, France and Spain. Her fine art images evoke the elegance, power and grace of the majestic Equus. And she has collected stories along with these images. Claire wants the viewer to feel something about these amazing animals, touching the heart and soul. In addition to traditional prints, she has produced images printed on scarves and wearable art.
Her work can be found in regional and national galleries and on her website – https://claireporterphotography.com
Member Photo Share Theme: Animals
We are blessed (sometimes cursed?) with an abundance of animal life in Texas. Our travels farther afield may have animals as a principal objective for enjoyment and photography. (Think safari, whale watching cruises, birding, and of course horses). Submit two of your photographs in which animals are featured and send them to Jerry Sargent at photos@jerrysargent.com
Naturescapes Companion Show
The theme for 2026 is “Geometry.” All club members who have paid dues will be guaranteed at least one entry for the wall exhibit opposite Naturescapes. Please submit your images (up to four) by July 1st to the club email: hcphotoclub@gmail.com with “Geometry” or “Companion” in the subject box. Once the entries are chosen for display you will receive details for print preparation, delivery and pick up times.
