This photo was a dream come true for me. As photographer for Ford Slovenia, I had this idea to pair the Ford Ranger Raptor with a horse to showcase strength and elegance together. We shot this in Bohinj, Slovenia, and it couldn’t have been a better setting. This picture was taken right at the end of a full day of shooting a video commercial. The timing was perfect, the last bit of sunlight was hitting the hills behind the car and the horse, and just two minutes later, the sun disappeared behind the mountains.
The post-processing was pretty minimal. The trickiest part for me was getting the grass color just right because it was November. The grass in the front had already started turning yellow, while the grass in the background was still green. I wanted to keep that natural contrast and balance everything nicely.
Your photo is not aesthetically very pleasant but it tells a story. I really enjoyed it.
