Alec Whitby & Lucy Gale, Centaur Photographic Ltd
Berkshire's Leading Equine Photographers We Uniquely Combine Fashion and Horses

An amazing experience for all horse lovers! Do you have heaps of photos from competitions riding your horse, but missing that really WOW portrait of you together looking fabulous? Let Centaur Photographic treat you or your loved ones to a set of beautiful Equine Portrait Photographs. We at Centaur don't just capture the unique bond between you and your horse, but also pamper by giving you a fantastic makeover and fashion shoot to make sure you look and feel great too. Your Photographers Alec and Lucy are both experienced horse people and riders. We understand and share your passion, so much so we want to deliver quality photographs so special and unique to you, that they can be passed down through your family. Our challenge on each shoot is to try something new and capture something exclusive for you to cherish. Yours is simply to enjoy the experience and be delighted by the results. We pride ourselves on making everyone we photograph look and feel amazing. People of every age, shape and size come to us simply because they want an experience and photographs they will treasure forever. A hugely enjoyable part of the experience is your Equine Fashion Photoshoot. We gently guide you through your shoot so you will be posing like a star even if you've never had a professional portrait taken before. Start thinking about how you and your horse want to look. We normally start the shoot nice and casually in your favourite pair of jeans and top. This will help you relax in front of the camera. Then if you dare, you can slip into that favourite summer dress or your favourite ball gown; with an outfit change (or two) mixed in between. Those who dare to dress up do not regret it. Of course this photographic experience is also open to guys and their horses, we just swap the little black dress for a classic suit or black tie! Two weeks after your shoot you will be invited back to our studio near Ascot to see the results. This is normally where lots of laughing and crying takes place. We will play a show of our selected final edited images and creatively choose with you the best way to present them, either as mounted prints, frames, canvases or albums. The original definition of centaur comes from Greek mythology, and refers to a fabulous creature which appeared to the early Greeks as half horse and half human. Hence our name Centaur Photographic; a mythical creature with the fantastic powers of man and horse combined. What image better sums up the relationship for which we horse people strive? By using a variety of styles and techniques, this unity and connection is what we seek to convey in our pictures. While Centaur specialise in Equine Portrait Photography, we have also been lucky enough to be the Official Photographers to Guards Polo Club, the most prestige Polo Club in the world for the last 5 years. We get to photograph the world's greatest Polo of which, amongst others Cartier International Polo and The Queen's Cup Polo are published in The Guards Yearbook and Ten Goal Magazine. In addition Images are licensed for the clubs promotional literature and press releases. We are also experienced in other areas such as Wedding Photography and Portraits. We cater for all styles, be it traditional or modern. Our aim is to capture both your personality and expressions to give the shots a real sense of character.
