Aga Karmol is a UK-based fine art equine photographer whose work uniquely blends classical painting techniques with a deep passion for horses. With a master’s degree in classical painting, she applies principles of composition, lighting, and color reminiscent of the Old Masters to her photography, creating images that capture both the physical beauty and spirited personality of her equine subjects. Her career evolved from documenting global trail rides to becoming a professional photographer recognized internationally, with her style characterized by dramatic light and painterly tones that convey the grace, power, and emotion of horses.

Karmol’s approach to equine photography requires patience, understanding of horse behavior, and technical skill, as she balances careful planning with flexibility to capture authentic moments. She uses reliable gear like the Canon R5 Mark II and emphasizes post-processing as a vital step to refine and enhance her images without altering the essence of the horses. Currently, she is working on two major projects: a fine art book of her equine portraits and a documentary highlighting the unsung professionals in the equestrian world. Through her work, Karmol elevates equine photography to fine art, honoring the spirit and elegance of horses while inspiring others to appreciate their beauty and character.
