PhotographerAlbert Droscaptures the majestic beauty of wild white horses in his series titledThe White Angels of Camargue.
Dros has been aware of these horses for many years.
[Daniel] asked me if I could step in for him, so I did.
It was great to finally see them in person and meet the guardians, Dros continues.
The guardians have a special connection with these horses.
The horses are super well behaved and it’s beautiful to see their connection with the guardians.
They are very calm and kind.
Dros' photos feature action shots of the horses along with more tranquil moments with their protectors.
To achieve the variety of images, he gave some direction to the horses' humans.
I also photographed the horses and guardians in their natural habitat in different locations.
The White Angels of Camargueis a compelling combination of gorgeous landscapes and the magnificent beauty of horses.
Thanks to Dros expertise, the two complement each other and allow you to admire both flora and fauna.
I am very happy with the series that came out, he says.
But also their beautiful close-up details.
That, along with them in action: running through water and sand with splashing water and dust.
This is where it’s possible for you to really see the movement.
Especially in the swamps and forest, there were 10000s of them, Dros recalls.
Any spray I used didnt work, and they seemed to really love my blood.
After the first evening of photographing, I already had more than 50 bites.
Luckily, they were not extremely itchy and I took them for granted.
Because the shots and experience were worth it!
