About The Artwork

The Brave One - by T-Gonzalez Fine-Art Photographer Chapter No.3 of The Legend of Freedom Told by Horses Discover the story and video behind this picture on https://www.t-gonzalez.com/the-brave-one THE BRAVE ONE The more subjects you have in a photo, the more difficult it is for their position to be harmonious and for the composition to appeal to the eye. When photographing people, it's easy to ask them to move around. But with animals, that's another thing! This photograph has not been prepared. After days of working with these beasts, I gained their trust and was able to share many unique moments with them. Like the one or the horses gathered, facing me with the bravest one of the group standing proud at their head. For these kind of photos all I would have hoped would have been that no horse's head was cut off. How lucky I was to have them alternated perfectly between light and dark. And I sure wouldn't have been so proud of this take if the scene had been arranged. I had about ten seconds to choose my composition before they moved, and I would have made the same choice with 10 minutes in front of this scene... Before starting this collection, I watched several '' making of '' videos of horse photos and I found it very disappointing to see that several photos were arranged with a team causing the slightest of situations to fly a drone to scare the horses and make them run, water the horses to have drops of water in the photo. Push the horse in front of a huge projector or screen for more light or a neutral background. Watching these videos, I found that these horses were pitiful and that this was no way of honoring the freedom they represent. To create this collection, it was just me and a herd on an acre of snow, no bait, no drone, with only patience and determination. And yet I captured unparalleled images. When you choose to be true to your values, the road is sometimes longer but the destination is much better.

T-Gonzalez is a Fine-Art Photographer specialized in wildlife and landscape. After only 1 year, his works have been sold in 10 countries on 4 continents and have been featured several times by the prestigious House&Garden magazine. HIS LOVE FOR EXPLORATION Young, Thierry loved everything related to adventure and exploration. He examined and peeled hundreds of times the world map which decorated his room, without suspecting that a little later, a paper map would no longer be enough to quench his thirst for discovering the world. Barely past his thirties, Thierry had set foot in more than 25 countries around the world. HIS PASSION FOR WILDLIFE His passion for animals manifested at a young age, devouring animal documentaries almost every evening with his father. He also received as a gift a game featuring endangered animals, which undoubtedly developed his sensitivity to their cause. HIS JOURNEY TOWARD VISUAL ART From kindergarten school, Thierry stood out in the arts, winning his class drawing contests. The following year, he was upgraded the first day of school after the teachers had examined one of his drawings. A dozen years later, he chose to study graphic arts in order to make it his profession. With a diploma in hand and having won the merits of excellence in his class, he decided to start his own business. HIS ARTISTIC APPROACH “Less is more, but details matter” is Thierry’s photographic motto. He loves to create simple images that are full of details. Extremely selective and self-critical with his images, he selects on average only one photo out of thirty, thus focusing on quality and exclusivity rather than quantity. Thierry specializes in large format animal art photography. Adoring the challenge, he knows that a photo printed in large format does not forgive any technical error, which pushes him to surpass himself in the field. MESSAGE FROM THE ARTIST Every artist sends a message through his works. The one I'm launching is this: we live on a wonderful planet, surrounded by unique animals. The modern world too often makes us forget the chance we have to take advantage of all this beautiful creation. We have so much to learn from the incredible wisdom behind nature. The perfect balance of its systems, its aesthetics and practicality. In front of such masterpieces, one realizes how faulty human inventions are. Man’s nonsense and his thirst for more is making him lose what is most precious to him, his planet.
