Jon Kral Master Artist Equine Photography


Horses stir something in our souls. In this weekend master artist workshop award-winning photographer Jon Kral will share his life-long work with horses and guide you through his techniques and artistry for capturing these beautiful and charismatic animals. The workshop will take you from classroom to stable to field –turning your love of horses into creative photographs. Jon will explain light, best technical practices and editing ideas. Students should have a good understanding of their camera in manual mode. This is an intermediate level class.
“There is an inherent nature in horses that draws people to them. Perhaps it is their beauty or their spirit. Or maybe that even in domestication, in their souls, they remain wild and free.” Jon Kral

Jon Kral was raised on the edge of cattle country in Ft. Pierce, FL. He developed a love for the land and its heritage which led him to begin seriously documenting it in 1983. That work eventually became his first book, CRACKER; FLORIDA’S ENDURING COWBOYS. Already a photojournalist on the international scene, Kral photographed during the (first) Gulf War and the Intifada in Jerusalem and the West Bank. His documentation of the inhumane prison conditions in Caracas, Venezuela led to the closing of one maximum-security facility and earned him a Pulitzer Prize finalist ranking. His work infiltrating and documenting youth gangs in the South yielded him the respected Robert F. Kennedy Award. Kral recently retired from the newspaper business, an award-winning 32-year veteran street shooter, five-time Pulitzer nominee, with 18 years at The Miami Herald, to focus on his freelance career. Kral lives in Boone, North Carolina.
