17:39 There’s just something about a horse in motion by the sea! That in combination with the dramatic music!!😍 The photograps were lovely too, but the stills did not win over the motion pics here for me.
@@soilgrasswaterair I agree here, the textures were really nice in the video, and I think he caught some elements not capture-able in photos. Regardless, we do see two very different viewpoints from two different types of artists.
deer doe you’re so right about that! I have to admit that personally I find it difficult to select a favorite when two people (here, the still photographers)are very skilled because both are at such a high technical level that me as an amateur can’t choose ”the best”, it gets more to a place of what one self will find the most attractive in terms of lighting, color and position/lines of the horse I guess...which is 100% subjective! All elements in this video were stunning, and Jesse’s non-stop blabbing in the beginning gave it a comedic and sweet angle too🙂
I love how Jesse just continues to have his own conversations throughout the video 😂 he’s me! I talk so much though videos and others getting annoyed but I think Jesse is just hilarious even though he doesn’t mean to be lol
I think your brother's fashion photographer eye was apparent in his video. The focus on small details--your booted, spurred foot, the way the water became almost jewel-like under Emporio's hooves, the attention on the logo on the cantle of the saddle, the way the sunlight glowed like gold behind you... Even when Steve showed Emporio cantering down the beach, it was about the power or the shadows or the movement...Steve shows small details and designs an image that focuses on a moment in time--even in a video. Meanwhile, Dominique uses her photos to give the viewer a complete and finished story. It's the story of the relationship between you and Emporio; she shows the spirit of your horse and the connection he shares with you as you move together--beautifully and powerfully--through the world. (And you'd never know it was his first time at the beach. He trusts you so much!) I'm not sure I'm expressing myself clearly; at any rate, both of them are very talented and there was (for me, anyway) a big difference between their ways of seeing. Thank you for sharing!
Yes! I would had bought the watch, the saddle, the boots, the class and style, and the adventure this video showed. Professional work from a professional fashion photographer.
Matt: "My horse is not a big fan of water" gets him to go into the water and not freak out when pushed by the waves Me: gets bucked off if tries to get the horse within 10 meters from the water
Steve’s video is beautiful shows us Emporio’s strength in the masse but also pointed on small details like the crown,stirrups and zoomed to catch the water dripping, back to catching the waves ... Loved it 💖
Omg! Dominique’s pictures are, as always, magnificent! I absolutely loved Steve’s video! Just captured all the beauty of your lovely horse in such a lovely environment! Thank you so much for sharing this. My husband kids me about following my new grandchildren. (He hasn’t seen your beautiful videos.😉 ) and always, Jesse’s conversations from behind the camera make this so enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.
Oooooh, okay, I’m a Portrait/Wedding photographer with an equestrian background and I can already tell you I prefer the lighting, style and STORY of your brother’s video. Well done! I’m sorry we weren’t able to see his photos but I can imagine what they would have been -nothing short of stunning!
Both were amazing but one that stands out for me is your brothers video and the fact he zoomed in on certain aspects, the tiniest details were made more powerful by your brother. loved it. x
OK, Steve's film takes the cake. This guy is amazing! The film packed a hell of a punch, it was exciting, action filled, leaving the spectator wanting more, there was a feeling that something more was coming. Moreover, the details , lighting were phenomenal. Dominique's pictures were nice also.
Steve is very talented. Love his composition, and lightning! He is a great photographer. I feel like his style of photographing would suit modelling horse equipment etc, Dominique’s style is more suited for showing of the horses qualities. They’re both very good at their work. Loved this video!
What a fun day! Emporio did so well in the new surroundings -- very impressive! And I always love seeing Matt in the saddle. His natural grace and suppleness are a delight to watch.
The pictures and the video (would love to work with each of them) are beautiful with enchanting subjects and background! Please don't be harsh with your brother he also has a gift. Jesse brings his own fun behind the camera, and omg, we all love you so very much. ♡
Your brother captured the beauty and majesty of your horse and his spirit. Just beautiful! The lady caught a whole different type of beauty in your horse . Both sets of pictures are wonderful.
I LOVE this video! As a tack maker, I have photo shoots, and I loved seeing each style. I would KILL to have a video and shoot done like your brothers. Since I am a tack maker, I love how he zoomed into shots and focused on crisp, up close shots. Both are amazing photographers!
What a brave horse he is going into those waves. He trusts in you so much. How I would love to be walking on the beach and stumble across you riding the beautiful Emporio. Lovely video and it seems to have stopped raining in the Netherlands.
Your brothers’ take on photography is very similar to mine. I LOVE finding the wee (Scottish for small) details in the subject. Highlighting certain areas of the subject that are lost in a bigger picture brings the viewer closer to the subject and surprises them by seeing what they may have missed. You are so fortunate to live near a west-facing, sandy beach - if I were lucky enough to own a horse I don’t think I’d ever be off the beach lol. Thanks for sharing and bringing some joy into our lives at this difficult time. Take care and stay safe xx
Oh my! Two different and totally valid talents capturing a lovely horse, his gentle and respectful rider and an amazing setting. Fashion photographer, equine photographer and you tube artistic videographer. Well done everyone! From lockdown in Australia
Merja ... every time Matt’s Brother appears in these videos he always appears unsure, inadequate, awkward... Matt gets too judgmental.... these aspects I see in the brother Steve makes him a good photographer. I don’t think Matt sees it this way..I would trust a photographer that was always a little unsure ... everytime.
All is beautiful! Every artist has their technique and reflection of how they see the world! Beautiful horse and handsome rider. How can anyone get a bad shot with the sunset too! Just WOW!
The photos were amazing, and that video was stunning!! Steve recovered insanely well with that, and Jesse definitely captured the moment with his videography too! Beautiful video :)
Oh shoot!! (pun intended!) I was really looking forward to seeing the contrast of the two! I’m a dressage rider pro photographer that has also had the good fortune to have worked with Steve Klein from Vogue with model Gisele Bündchen and a Friesian horse I had. Let me say that-OMG-the fashion photography “eye”.. is MEGA different from the competition type dressage photographers “eye”!!! But as a dressage rider, I do like to shoot dressage horses with some out-of-the-box flair! I hope you get a chance to do this again!! Dominique is awesome-and yes, your brothers video was super! Thanks for all the time and effort it takes to do a beach shoot! Been there! It ain’t easy!!
Beautiful stills and video! I loved the details Steve concentrated on, the lighting, the close ups of Matt and Emporio in full gallop. He looked so strong! And deep in the water. Ditto for the still photos. The pastels, the shot with the dunes in the background was my favorite. Bravo to both photographers! And to both subjects! And Jesse! 🤗❤❤❤❤❤
I had to come back and watch this again. The still shots were amazing but that video your brother did still gives me chills!! He needs to add horse photography and videography to his skill sheet. Just breathtaking!!😊
I think your brother did a great job, you put him on the spot, he was super nice to do it, the girl is used to taking pics of your horses very often❤️ Emporeo is such a great horse nobody could mess that up, he’s gorgeous👍👍🇺🇸
The different methods of photography were very interesting. Everything they did was absolutely beautiful and showcased everyone involved. Beautiful work by photographers, rider, horse and nature.
I'm so glad you let Emporio run a little bit. We only get to see him in the arena or the barn. Was nice to see him stretching out a bit. You always ask us what we might like to see...would be cool to see him without so much garb on his face. How about an Aussie themed shoot with an Aussie saddle, plain snaffle, no nosebands, and what ever type reins are traditional....and you in one of those Snowy River jackets: I know they make helmets that have the look that would work. Maybe Chase would be the one for that shoot? I know there are plenty of Iberian horses in AU, but Chase just seems to have the look for something like that. Beautiful work from all of you! Thanks for sharing:)
Dominique pics are great and amazing as a whole piece, they're clean and you can tell that the horse is the main things for us as viewers. Ont the other hand, Steves movie seems more to build up a story with th details, you not only see the horse and rider as a focus but you get close up of tack and other small things. Both very beautiful and great photographers, depending on what you really want to show of in that particulat photoshoot-set.
The photograpy is beautiful! The short video by your brother however....Breathtaking! I didn't want it to end. Felt like he was telling a story and was leading me to something even more exciting! Wow. Great job
Jesse provided the most real, engaging, "wish I could be there" video. The overwhelming power and beauty of the horse is over the top. Loved the stills and your brothers work...wish his photos had not been lost. Maybe next time.
Kinda hoping your brother sees this comment, he didn't seem all that comfortable in the video, unsure of himself, and he shouldn't. The horse photographer captured the horse, I would expect her to, it's her job. He may have lost the photos he took, but the video shows that he has an eye and a knack for more than just a subject. He captured an emotion and told a story, used light and shadow and to convey emphasis. The origins of dressage were warfare and a knight was recognized by his spurs. It was powerful and beautiful, and honestly I think more fitting for Emporio and his introduction to the art of mounted warfare. You could see the hesitance that bled into assertion as he took courage from his rider. I think he did a lot of research before he cut that video together and the results are astounding.
Emporio is sublime! I like that his carriage is rising, he was over-bridled and over-bent but now has trust in your hands and is relaxing about it. I also perceive that he has the potential to be five-gaited, which is fine and can be exploited so long as he always knows the difference, nothing is as good as a gaited horse to ride. He is now carrying himself beautifully, needs more outdoor adventures. For a green horse he was good with the water, you got those prissy little bell boots soaked! Photos and video both superb. Thanks Matt, I really enjoyed it. Greetings from Australia.
That horse tries his heart out for you and trusts you every single time you ride him. I was nervous you may have brought him in the water just a touch too deep for his own comfort level, but that is your judgement. Also, you don't want him to get bit by a jellyfish or something. Just don't want Emporio to lose his trust in you. You have a very special bond with him. I cannot believe how good he was! Boy, did you ever chose the right horse to purchase and your training job with him has been consistent and stellar. The pictures were absolutely amazing! The video also was beautiful and showed your brothers gift for photography and style. Both excellent. I do love the canter picture! I would for sure frame that and put on my wall! I think Emporio enjoyed that. I felt Emporio was moving so beautifully, like he thought he was in a show. His movement was high level the entire time. What a great idea and a fun time for all. Two very talented photographers. You are so fortunate to have access to them. Stay safe from corona!!
The photos are perfect and the video is perfect. The photos captured the relationship between the two of you, and Dominique. The video presented Emporio's anticipation, with a bit of mystery thrown in, and the close up's gave the audience a great new view of details. The entire program was interesting, enjoyable, unique and, as always, pleasurable. The music added to the emotions and artistry. Thanks to all of you for sharing, beauty, friendship, love, trust, joy, nature and art. Love to all of you!!!!!
Hi am a huge fan. Hope that you Jesse and your horses r doing great during this lockdown period. I've been watching you for months. Anyways bye love you guys
Beautiful pictures and video. But the most amazing thing is what a well trained and confident horse you have developed. You should be both thrilled and proud. Happy Passover. Happy Easter.
I absolutely LOVED, LOVED, LOVED STEVE'S VIDEO! Beautiful artistry, great eye, and amazing colors. Even though it wasn't a photo, I think he would have won the competition. Excellent work, Steve!
The video your brother shot is really beautiful, I used to ride at old stables in my youth. I'm so grateful yourself and Jessie are so gentle and kind to all your animals.
Also Jesse's camera work at min 12 and min 13 were great! Steve's video was so lovely, as I expect he selected the music and did nice editing. This was an AWESOME upload to the channel, Matt!!
Matt you are So lucky ... Emporio is priceless. Just loves you!!! Keep Him for his entire life or it would break his heart . It takes an outsider to remind You of this at times . Beautiful video ..your brother is incredible
I loved the clips your brother took, especially the still shots/clips with less motion. But I feel like the lighting was a bit too dark in some areas, I would have liked to see more light to see details in the clips. As a professional videographer, I could definitely tell he was having a hard time keeping the focus on the subject and keeping the horse centered in the frame when in a canter, beautiful clips overall though! The equine photographer’s pics were beautiful too, I think a little more artistic Liberty could have been taken as her shots felt more like advertisement images. Both artists had beautiful results though! I hope you try to do this type of video again or make a series like in different areas (like an arena or stable or even try to flip the challenge and have them do fashion photography) super fun video, I really enjoyed it a lot! 💗
Liked you comments. However, I often like less clarity, less definitive purpose and time with photography. Steve’s photography is very good commercial style for a brand. I’m not sure why Matt has an objection to his brother’s video. Matt likes everything to be calculated and measured. He has this concept of “perfect” which not exist.
Isn't he stunning? Yes, Emporio, lol.. But, we can't forget the ever handsome Matt now can we!!!! Emporio is just the most beautiful horse I've ever seen! He has my heart! Much love from Oklahoma USA
Both Photos and videos are gorgeous. Emporio is stunning, and the setting really suited you both. :) I love to see a horse enjoying it's natural world. Thank you for sharing. x
🙋🏻♀️ Wow! Emporio is like the model horse that we remember on the merry-go-round 🎠 perfect shape, neck, movement beautiful legs, and the very noise of his mighty powerful hoofs, would love to have seen his mane flowing loose soft, the longer the better, with the perfect people to show him at his best!! Matt, Jesse you have a great life and thank you for letting me in, always mesmerised appreciate the wonder of Equestrians 🎠 pictures! loved them all 🙃
I enjoyed this alot. When a horse is out in the wind and beach I am so happy. The still photos were beautiful and your brother Steve did an INCREDIBLE job with his video. Wonderful Steve! The way you captured Emporio's surging front diagonal at the end was FANTASTIC. I loved the cuts you did on certains spots of the horse and human!
I do sports photography and I really want to get into equine photography, when lockdown is done and I can go back up to my friend's stables, I'm 100% going to have a play, your photographer is so inspiring
It looked like you all had so much fun! The pictures, of course, were beautiful with 2 such stunning subjects! But that video was fabulous! I have watched it multiple, multiple times! Would have loved to see his photographs! Thanks so much for sharing!
Love, love, love you All. Pics were beautiful. My fav was the first one. The position she managed to catch the height of his front leg was spectacular. However, the video was absolutely breathtaking💗. It captured such grace, horsemanship, unity & Emporio is so gorgeous. It looks like the beginning of a 5* movie. Just fabulous. Great job to you all. Even Jess on the phone. Always an amazing job. Stay safe.🧘☮️🦄💙🎠
15:04 I don’t believe it’s the lens that changes the focus when it comes to photography. The lens she has is probably to help get a clear photo from a good distance away. From my understanding she used a smaller f-stop aka aperture, which isolates the subject and makes the background more blurry. If I’m wrong please correct me! Both photographers are amazing though! I do prefer Steve’s style and the lighting in his “photos”which I think capture a little more emotion but Dominique’s photos also contain beautiful lighting and landscape as well. The more saturated orange glow from the sunset in Steve’s video is a little more dramatic and helps the subject relax into the setting a little more. Well done to both photographers though, the end products from both are absolutely stunning😍🔥🌅
you need a specific(and expensive..) kind of lens to be able to have a low aperture when shooting subjects far away. So you're both right! It's the lens that makes her able to have that f-stop. My telescope lenses could never xD
The video by your brother was very dramatic and beautiful. I would have loved to have seen the photos. I forget just how stunning Emporio is. It was incredible to watch him. Nice video Matt.
Let’s be real the best camera work here is from jesse
Agreeeeeeeeeeeed
Absolutely!
17:39 There’s just something about a horse in motion by the sea! That in combination with the dramatic music!!😍
The photograps were lovely too, but the stills did not win over the motion pics here for me.
@@soilgrasswaterair I agree here, the textures were really nice in the video, and I think he caught some elements not capture-able in photos. Regardless, we do see two very different viewpoints from two different types of artists.
deer doe you’re so right about that! I have to admit that personally I find it difficult to select a favorite when two people (here, the still photographers)are very skilled because both are at such a high technical level that me as an amateur can’t choose ”the best”, it gets more to a place of what one self will find the most attractive in terms of lighting, color and position/lines of the horse I guess...which is 100% subjective!
All elements in this video were stunning, and Jesse’s non-stop blabbing in the beginning gave it a comedic and sweet angle too🙂
The horse photos are lovely but Steve really captured the absolute beauty of where you were, you and Emporio as one. WOW
Steve went beyond a picture of a horse.
Goosebumps! When his video started playing 🙌
i mean that's what happens when you make a video rather than a single picture which was asked to ofc focus on the two of them alone
I love how Jesse just continues to have his own conversations throughout the video 😂 he’s me! I talk so much though videos and others getting annoyed but I think Jesse is just hilarious even though he doesn’t mean to be lol
yes, he is a bit like a gremlin - in front of the camera he is the sweet, lovely Jesse we know, but behind the camera !!!!
Catherine Taylor 😂😂 it makes the videos even better
Rebelequestrian95 Me too, love Jesse.
Rob Canadianguy Yeah, really lucky to have someone so unique as Jesse. Lovely heart.
My sister does, that but only around other people, which I think is really annoying.
I love Jesse talking over Matt. He's such a cutie pie
For capturing the feeling it's all your brother, hands down. With a little more experience around horses , pure wow. He has a gift.
Yes he captures the mood and the feeling with his unique angles and perspective, such a shame we dont get to see the photos but the video is superb!
I think your brother's fashion photographer eye was apparent in his video. The focus on small details--your booted, spurred foot, the way the water became almost jewel-like under Emporio's hooves, the attention on the logo on the cantle of the saddle, the way the sunlight glowed like gold behind you...

Very good review of both, well done.
Yes! I would had bought the watch, the saddle, the boots, the class and style, and the adventure this video showed. Professional work from a professional fashion photographer.
Matt: "My horse is not a big fan of water" gets him to go into the water and not freak out when pushed by the waves
Me: gets bucked off if tries to get the horse within 10 meters from the water
All I could think about is the poor person cleaning all the salt off of the tack after
@@zoestott5465 yeah that's a REALLY nice saddle too 😂
Haha
Jesse's comments through out this video were just...on point! 😂
Steve comes all the way from Australia to visit Matt to just make a glorified chicken coop and to take fancy photos 😂
Yeah, like that's all he's done while visiting. He's only done the things they've filmed... SMH.. what a stupid comment.
Sarah Smith lol I loved when Jesse asked Steve where his “nice outfit” (the chest waders) was 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sarah Smith I think he’s stuck there because of the coronavirus.
@It’s Miss Jewel Yeah, I agree, she must be like 10 years old. I should have considered that (for once). She's still an idiot.
And the delete all the fancy photos!🤣
Steve’s video is beautiful shows us Emporio’s strength in the masse but also pointed on small details like the crown,stirrups and zoomed to catch the water dripping, back to catching the waves ...
Loved it 💖
I loved the water drippng!
I agree
Omg! Dominique’s pictures are, as always, magnificent! I absolutely loved Steve’s video! Just captured all the beauty of your lovely horse in such a lovely environment! Thank you so much for sharing this. My husband kids me about following my new grandchildren. (He hasn’t seen your beautiful videos.😉 ) and always, Jesse’s conversations from behind the camera make this so enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.
Your brother's video was poetry in motion. Absolutely breath-taking shots of you and Emporio. The photos were great too.
Counting Strides This video is absolutely stunning. Sorry he formatted the pictures, but this video is priceless.
The video was Game of Thrones-like
Oooooh, okay, I’m a Portrait/Wedding photographer with an equestrian background and I can already tell you I prefer the lighting, style and STORY of your brother’s video. Well done! I’m sorry we weren’t able to see his photos but I can imagine what they would have been -nothing short of stunning!

And so curious to see his other work
@@MissMarli86 Iagree, liked bros video.
@@MissMarli86 you should check out his instagram, he's got nice shots there
K_Srah agreed. The pics must have been unbelievable 😍
I thoughts exactly.
Yaaass
Jesse: rivals
Everyone else:no, colleagues
Jesse: rivals.
( Edit: omg how did i get so many likes thx everyone❤️❤️)
Haha, I like how he thinks 😂
Primrose Cullen yeah me to😂
Colleagues, colleges is a different word and meaning all together. :)
GalaxyRangerNiko you get what I mean 😂
“Coul have prepared better. Didn’t.” This is such a mood

Fanof KikiChanel Agreed, he’ll do anything for Matt.
What a brave horse he is going into those waves. He trusts in you so much. How I would love to be walking on the beach and stumble across you riding the beautiful Emporio. Lovely video and it seems to have stopped raining in the Netherlands.

Emporio's movement is so pretty and I can see why you love the breed. Would love to see Sureno under similar circumstances.
I think your brother nailed it, love the closeups of not only Imporio, but of you and the saddle.
He’s moves so much better now than when you got him 👏 he’s really engaging the body better from behind 😃
he's really filled out from when Matt first got him. absolutely gorgeous! those shots jesse got of him galloping on the beach were breathtaking
Oh my! Two different and totally valid talents capturing a lovely horse, his gentle and respectful rider and an amazing setting. Fashion photographer, equine photographer and you tube artistic videographer. Well done everyone! From lockdown in Australia
I loved them both! Dominique’s photos were great 👍🏻 and your brother’s video was really superbly done.
2:10
Matt: hi everyone, how are ya'
Jeffree Star: shook
Anna H Ha
HAAHa I'm glad I'm not the only one that picked up on that
So now we know Matt watches Jeffree a LOT!
Homemade Cookie how can you not!
Homemade Cookie he even follows Jeffree on insta
Your brother’s video conveyed a wonderful state of emotion, wow.

Wow..... Amazing horse, amazing rider, amazing pictures and amazing photographers. What else do you need?! 😍😍😍😍 I love beach-pictures.
Beautiful Emporio, beautiful Matt, beautiful pictures and beautiful video!!! It was really nice to see both still photography and video.
Emporio Looked so good at the Beach. Really liked him in the water also. Beautiful mover. Stay Safe and Peace Be With You All ☮️

God I just love horses. Doesnt matter what angle you take a picture or video, they are always look majestic and powerful
Kinda hoping your brother sees this comment, he didn't seem all that comfortable in the video, unsure of himself, and he shouldn't. The horse photographer captured the horse, I would expect her to, it's her job. He may have lost the photos he took, but the video shows that he has an eye and a knack for more than just a subject. He captured an emotion and told a story, used light and shadow and to convey emphasis. The origins of dressage were warfare and a knight was recognized by his spurs. It was powerful and beautiful, and honestly I think more fitting for Emporio and his introduction to the art of mounted warfare. You could see the hesitance that bled into assertion as he took courage from his rider. I think he did a lot of research before he cut that video together and the results are astounding.
Dominique pics were great. Your brothers video was breathtaking, well edited. Great eye.
Emporio is sublime! I like that his carriage is rising, he was over-bridled and over-bent but now has trust in your hands and is relaxing about it. I also perceive that he has the potential to be five-gaited, which is fine and can be exploited so long as he always knows the difference, nothing is as good as a gaited horse to ride. He is now carrying himself beautifully, needs more outdoor adventures. For a green horse he was good with the water, you got those prissy little bell boots soaked! Photos and video both superb. Thanks Matt, I really enjoyed it. Greetings from Australia.
That horse tries his heart out for you and trusts you every single time you ride him. I was nervous you may have brought him in the water just a touch too deep for his own comfort level, but that is your judgement. Also, you don't want him to get bit by a jellyfish or something. Just don't want Emporio to lose his trust in you. You have a very special bond with him. I cannot believe how good he was! Boy, did you ever chose the right horse to purchase and your training job with him has been consistent and stellar. The pictures were absolutely amazing! The video also was beautiful and showed your brothers gift for photography and style. Both excellent. I do love the canter picture! I would for sure frame that and put on my wall! I think Emporio enjoyed that. I felt Emporio was moving so beautifully, like he thought he was in a show. His movement was high level the entire time. What a great idea and a fun time for all. Two very talented photographers. You are so fortunate to have access to them. Stay safe from corona!!
Suzanne Allard You an Emporio bring out the best in each other. What a blast for him after a winter of ring work!!
The photos are perfect and the video is perfect. The photos captured the relationship between the two of you, and Dominique. The video presented Emporio's anticipation, with a bit of mystery thrown in, and the close up's gave the audience a great new view of details. The entire program was interesting, enjoyable, unique and, as always, pleasurable. The music added to the emotions and artistry. Thanks to all of you for sharing, beauty, friendship, love, trust, joy, nature and art. Love to all of you!!!!!
Hi am a huge fan. Hope that you Jesse and your horses r doing great during this lockdown period. I've been watching you for months. Anyways bye love you guys
Beautiful pictures and video. But the most amazing thing is what a well trained and confident horse you have developed. You should be both thrilled and proud. Happy Passover. Happy Easter.
The photos were lovely but that video was freaking stunning ❤️
I absolutely LOVED, LOVED, LOVED STEVE'S VIDEO! Beautiful artistry, great eye, and amazing colors. Even though it wasn't a photo, I think he would have won the competition. Excellent work, Steve!
The Video was absolutely beautiful. Very special.
The video your brother shot is really beautiful, I used to ride at old stables in my youth. I'm so grateful yourself and Jessie are so gentle and kind to all your animals.
I really LOVE the light in your brother's video and I am quite sad we did not get to see the pictures. 😭💕
Also Jesse's camera work at min 12 and min 13 were great! Steve's video was so lovely, as I expect he selected the music and did nice editing. This was an AWESOME upload to the channel, Matt!!
Jesse: If Dominique will shoot a fashion shoot, she will be like "Do you need to warm up first or can we go?" 😅
Jesse always the best!
Matt you are So lucky ... Emporio is priceless. Just loves you!!! Keep
Him for his entire life or it would break his heart . It takes an outsider to remind
You of this at times . Beautiful video ..your brother is incredible
I loved the clips your brother took, especially the still shots/clips with less motion. But I feel like the lighting was a bit too dark in some areas, I would have liked to see more light to see details in the clips. As a professional videographer, I could definitely tell he was having a hard time keeping the focus on the subject and keeping the horse centered in the frame when in a canter, beautiful clips overall though! The equine photographer’s pics were beautiful too, I think a little more artistic Liberty could have been taken as her shots felt more like advertisement images. Both artists had beautiful results though! I hope you try to do this type of video again or make a series like in different areas (like an arena or stable or even try to flip the challenge and have them do fashion photography) super fun video, I really enjoyed it a lot! 💗
Liked you comments. However, I often like less clarity, less definitive purpose and time with photography. Steve’s photography is very good commercial style for a brand. I’m not sure why Matt has an objection to his brother’s video. Matt likes everything to be calculated and measured. He has this concept of “perfect” which not exist.
Wow, so beautiful seeing a powerful horse and the ocean sunset. Great to see.
Isn't he stunning? Yes, Emporio, lol.. But, we can't forget the ever handsome Matt now can we!!!! Emporio is just the most beautiful horse I've ever seen! He has my heart! Much love from Oklahoma USA
Both Photos and videos are gorgeous. Emporio is stunning, and the setting really suited you both. :) I love to see a horse enjoying it's natural world. Thank you for sharing. x
The pictures and video turned out amazing!! Emporio is such a stunning horse 😍
Steve’s work is amazing. I like the video with the dramatic music and the way he played with the light and focussed on you and the horse alike.
🙋🏻♀️ Wow! Emporio is like the model horse that we remember on the merry-go-round 🎠 perfect shape, neck, movement beautiful legs, and the very noise of his mighty powerful hoofs, would love to have seen his mane flowing loose soft, the longer the better, with the perfect people to show him at his best!! Matt, Jesse you have a great life and thank you for letting me in, always mesmerised appreciate the wonder of Equestrians 🎠 pictures! loved them all 🙃
That's EXACTLY what he looks like 😊
I enjoyed this alot. When a horse is out in the wind and beach I am so happy. The still photos were beautiful and your brother Steve did an INCREDIBLE job with his video. Wonderful Steve! The way you captured Emporio's surging front diagonal at the end was FANTASTIC. I loved the cuts you did on certains spots of the horse and human!
I do sports photography and I really want to get into equine photography, when lockdown is done and I can go back up to my friend's stables, I'm 100% going to have a play, your photographer is so inspiring
Both photographers did an amazing job capturing the pure beauty that is horse & rider.
The video your brother did looks really nice! 😍
That was awesome. Loved the picture.s but so loved the video captured everything about Emporio. Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
Stunning photos !!!
It looked like you all had so much fun! The pictures, of course, were beautiful with 2 such stunning subjects! But that video was fabulous! I have watched it multiple, multiple times! Would have loved to see his photographs! Thanks so much for sharing!
I love your brother’s photo and video style!
Absolutely and always love Dominique’s photos, and also love Steve's video. Emporio is stunning and beautiful as ever. So fun to see this.
The others were just pictures, your brother tells a story!!! Two different products can’t really compare; however I really LOVED what your brother did
Love, love, love you All.
Pics were beautiful. My fav was the first one. The position she managed to catch the height of his front leg was spectacular. However, the video was absolutely breathtaking💗. It captured such grace, horsemanship, unity & Emporio is so gorgeous. It looks like the beginning of a 5* movie. Just fabulous. Great job to you all. Even Jess on the phone. Always an amazing job. Stay safe.🧘☮️🦄💙🎠
Let's be real, Jesse has the best camera work
Emporio did awesome at beach - especially for the first time! He tried hard - brave boy! Just stunning to watch you on the beach. Thanks for sharing.
15:04 I don’t believe it’s the lens that changes the focus when it comes to photography. The lens she has is probably to help get a clear photo from a good distance away. From my understanding she used a smaller f-stop aka aperture, which isolates the subject and makes the background more blurry.
If I’m wrong please correct me!
Both photographers are amazing though! I do prefer Steve’s style and the lighting in his “photos”which I think capture a little more emotion but Dominique’s photos also contain beautiful lighting and landscape as well. The more saturated orange glow from the sunset in Steve’s video is a little more dramatic and helps the subject relax into the setting a little more. Well done to both photographers though, the end products from both are absolutely stunning😍🔥🌅
you need a specific(and expensive..) kind of lens to be able to have a low aperture when shooting subjects far away. So you're both right! It's the lens that makes her able to have that f-stop. My telescope lenses could never xD
I loved both the photos & Steve's video. It was also nice to follow everything that went on at the beach, to be able to film
Love Emporio! 💚💚 such a sweet horse!🐴
The video by your brother was very dramatic and beautiful. I would have loved to have seen the photos. I forget just how stunning Emporio is. It was incredible to watch him. Nice video Matt.
You're horses are absolutely gorgeous
Yeee!! finally beach time for sweet Emp... Love Steve's video which focusses on the beautiful horse and the details of the rider
I think your brother's video at the beach was Excellent.
