Camargue, France - 2025 
 
The Camargue horses of southern France are one of the most iconic and oldest horse breeds in the world. In this image, they move quietly across the windswept sands of their unique homeland, their pale coats catching the soft morning light. These horses live in semi-feral conditions, roaming large open areas in the Rhône delta under the care of local guardians known as “gardians.” 
 
There is a timeless feel to them. Their movement, the way they interact, their calm but powerful presence all speak of something rooted and authentic. In the Camargue, horses are more than animals. They are part of the region’s identity, a symbol of strength, tradition and harmony with nature.
 
This photo was taken in the late afternoon against the setting sun. A soft breeze pushed sand around their hooves whilst long shadows stretched in front of them.
Their pure white coats stand out against the soft tones of the sand and sky, creating a refined, almost sculptural feel. There’s a quiet sophistication in how they carry themselves, both graceful and assured, which becomes even more striking without the distraction of colour.
