Esther Towler Photographer
I'm a fine art photographer and photo-encaustic artist who creates limited edition prints inspired by horses for art collectors, hotels, designers and brands.
I
also take on a small number of equine fine art commissions across the UK and internationally. “Through my artwork, I tell stories of the wild at heart. Encapsulating the beauty, heart and fragility of wild and rare horses in their natural world. My work explores the very essence of the freedom and peace horses evoke. One of the most beautiful sights in the world is a horse running without restr
It was lovely to see my photo-encaustic artwork today hung in Frank Gallery along with my fellow associate members artwork too.
The group exhibition is called “In Process” if you would like to visit please contact
PS- if you would like to explore using photo-encaustics in your own photography practice I have a small photo-encaustic workshop being launched soon.

As someone passionate about our UK native breeds, on a quest to photograph rare native equine breeds for my book project called Wild Hearts, I often photograph some wonderful ponies who are part of a conservation equine breed program.
I thought I would find out more about equine conservation grazing and create a blog post all about it.
Here's the link to find out more -

A lovely quote of the day! 😊 Have a lovely Easter everyone. ♥️
My beautiful encaustic Angel Horse is flying away to her new home in the next few days. A lot of my encaustic artwork gets re-photographed, inspired by the original I edit the photograph to create a limited edition print which is full of texture and very emotive. I thought I’d show you the difference between the original artwork and the limited edition print before the encaustics is delivered to its new owner. ♥️
I currently have a special edition introductory 5 inch x 7 inch gift print offer. For only £5 you can own a lovely print ( worth £35) which will look beautiful in any cosy corner of your home. As an additional bonus you’ll also receive a desktop and mobile wallpaper so you can be inspired by my horse art whether your at work or on the move! 🤗 My goal is to invite people into my private-collector community and to have my beautiful horse prints touch the lives of as many people as possible to connect, inspire and infuse a sense of freedom and tranquility that we should all feel in our lives.

A few weeks ago I asked you what you thought of my new deckle edge fine art prints, everyone loved them. A few people suggested a wider mount so I’ve just received a print with the wider mount. Do you prefer it ? 😊 PS - have a lovely weekend ♥️

I use encaustics to create more ethereal emotion and depth to my photographs, it’s a process led by intuition and is something I feel you can’t recreate in Photoshop.
Happy World Wildlife Day Everyone!
I often get asked why I only create artwork inspired by horses, In Eastern spiritual traditions, they say that there’s a Windhorse who exudes powerful positive energy that has the capacity to influence outcomes, people, and society. They believe that horses inspire us to have faith and believe in positive outcomes within our lives.
I find this truly inspiring and the spirit of Wind Horse is certainly something I continue to search for within my life.
I’d love to think that the artwork I make has a little of this spirit and belief running through the very core of each photograph.
Every horse I’m lucky enough to share a moment with and photograph is very special to me. They deserve their moment to shine I wish to share their beauty, light, and essence and elementally encapsulate within one of my prints for everyone who seeks their own personal Windhorse.
I hope you've all had a great day today, I've been busy in the studio, working on a new encaustic piece. What have you been up to?
So Glad to be part of this International virtual exhibition called Adventure into the Wild about the animal kingdom from domestic to the wild. For more information and to view the exhibition click on the link below.

Iceland is one of the most beautiful and enchanting places I’ve ever seen. It has a rare feeling of utter tranquillity which I fell in love with.
Iceland is also home to one of the purest equine breeds in the world the Icelandic Horse, they live in an unspoiled terrain, they are curious, hardy, intelligent, independent and their spirited but gentle temperament is so endearing, that I love spending time with them.
This small collection of photographs is the first series of photographs that aims to capture the natural, raw beauty of these magical horses. This collection will grow over time the more I visit Iceland and capture the spirit of these horses over time.

As well as the exhibition, there will be party games and pancakes! So if you're available on Saturday it would be lovely to see you there. 😊
I’d love to know what you think of these beautiful new deckle edge mounted fine art prints and frames. I absolutely love beautiful printing, just like the horses I photograph each print is unique & deserves the love, attention and care to be at there very very best. I’ve been pondering for a few months about changing my prints and replacing them with these extra special deckle edge fine art mounted prints and frames? I’d really love to know what you think of them, to help me decide. X♥️
Love collaborating with commercial brands! 🎨 Whether it's equestrian or related industries like interior design and hotels, my clients share a passion for horses and appreciate the emotive power of equestrian art.
If you're a business looking to incorporate my artwork, consider commissioning original pieces, purchasing fine art prints, or licensing artworks that align with your brand.
I recently had an exciting collaboration with Pegasus Hypnotherapy, using my encaustic piece "Angel Horse" inspired by Greek mythology's Pegasus. Check out the wonderful work Deborah does helping many people using Hypnotherapy and see the impact using artwork has on her website: https://www.pegasus-hypnotherapy.com 🌟

They say never meet your idols, well boy are they wrong!
I was absolutely bowled over when I walked into see exhibition The Wild Horses of Sable Island. Roberto Dutesco has always been a great inspiration to me for many years, not only for his emotive photography but also for his conservation work through his IAMWILD foundation. Well, you can imagine my surprise when I walked in to see him standing there! 😳 it was so wonderful to chat with him and gain more insight about his work and future projects. I really hope our paths cross again someday soon.😊

I have free shipping in the UK at the moment too! ❤️
One of the biggest perks of my job is being able to have lots of horse snuggles! ♥️
There's nothing better than being in beautiful landscapes, with only the sounds of nature, surrounded by ponies roaming free. The peace & quiet beauty I feel whilst in their company is something which I never take for granted. I always endeavour to capture those feelings within my artwork for others to enjoy and really appreciate the special horses I get to photograph every day.
I believe that horses have the ability to open our hearts and heal us on many levels. They are the embodiment of freedom and spirit.
Here's a sneak peek from my recent trip to the New Forest to photograph the semi-wild New Forest Ponies for my Wild Hearts book project about our native equine breeds in the UK. ❤️
Our Story
Hi! I’m Esther Marie and I’m a horse and dog photographer in the quiet village of Newhey in Lancashire. I work all over the UK and abroad.
I LOVE WHAT I DO !
MY PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE IS NATURAL, EMOTIVE AND ARTISTIC –
My photography style is natural, emotive and artistic. I just love capturing beautiful fine art photographs of horses, the connection people share with their animals as well as beautiful and special moments in time for my clients. The best thing about being an animal photographer is that I get to be an artist and also connect with your horse or dog too. Few things are more rewarding than creating photography for my clients and giving them something to cherish.
