Finally, we have our dates and itinerary for another amazing trip to photograph the White Horses of the Camargue in 2012!  So many have been waiting for the dates, but we wanted to make sure we had every detail worked out, including adding some new shoots that only The West… Redefined will have on it’s  photo shoot calendar in the Camargue!

Next year, we have planned 8 shoots in all:  2 sunrise and 2 sunset shoots of horses running … 3 through water and the marshes, and the 4th through dust, which we have added.  We will also do portraits of horses and their foals, and another stunning shoot of stallions battling in the marshes.  One evening will be spent photographing the sunset with flamingo silhouettes… and also added, a morning  shooting the medieval city of Aigues Mortes,  a walled-city with moats, cobblestone streets, and ancient architecture.
