About.....

 

         After 10 years of specializing in the field, Alice has become established as one of the leading polo photographers, building up an extensive photographic library of spectacular images from around the world.

 

         Success has to be due to uniquely combining all her favourite subjects; photography, horses, playing polo and art. Riding since the age of three and spending her life surrounded by horses, they have always been the main subject for her drawing and photography. A keen artist, she studied Art at college and in her gap year took the John Hall History of Art course to Italy visiting Venice, Florence and Rome. However, the desire to learn more about the anatomy, behaviour and everything equine later lead her to an Hons degree in Equine Science at University. Once introduced to polo it was clear that this was the way forward. Enthusiasm and understanding of both subject and sport combined with an untiring artistic desire to portray the beauty and elegance of the horse fuels endless ideas for creative work.

 

  

Clients......

  

           Spotted early on in her career by Polo Times, a leading UK polo magazine, she has provided them with numerous cover shots (see portfolio) and pictures to illustrate articles. Alice has since had work published in Horse & Hound, PQ International, Hurlingham, Pololine, The Daily Telegraph, The Times, Country Life, Polo Players Edition, Polo & Polistas, Polo Mundial, La Dorrego, Clarin, advertisements, numerous websites and so far two polo books, Playmaker Polo by Hugh Dawnay and Polo Around the World by Javier Bustinza. Polo events have also been covered for many high profile sponsors such as Audi, Jeager LeCoultre and Stanford.

           Horse portrait commissions are a favorite but most of all she enjoys following the high goal season and putting together stunning albums for teams.

 

           Providing articles to accompany her pictures arose when Polo Times asked Alice to interview top players such as Adolfo Cambiaso, Bautista Heguy (article), Lolo Castagnola (article), Ruki Baillieu (article) and many more about their best playing ponies for the Polo Times Pony Power page. Alice has also written for PQ International and Hurlingham about women's polo, which she both plays and organises. 

          The latest commission was to provide images and an article for Polo Times on Pablo MacDonough (see article) about the families embryo transfer farm in Argentina, La Irenita.

         Prior to this Alice wrote an article on Eduardo Heguy's incredible polo organisation in Argentina (see article) for Polo Times. Eduardo and his wife Paz had invited her to visit their beautiful home in La Pampa providing a wonderful opportunity to photograph all the mares, foals, stallions and young playing ponies from the Heguy's top bloodlines in an amazing location. It remains one of her most memorable trips with many of the pictures illustrating this website.

 Inspiration.....        

           The unpredictability of polo forever presents a challenge for new, exciting and unexpected images; mallets entwined, split second connection of the ball, rippling muscles of the horses, players agility and skill. It not only takes skill, timing and a good composition to constantly capture powerful action polo images, but an essential requirement is an artistic eye and creative energy behind the lens, constantly scouting for a truly stunning image that captures movement, character, feeling and emotion.
