Artist statement

“I photograph horses the way they are when no one is asking anything of them: grazing, resting at the fence, moving together across open ground. These are quiet moments in Kentucky horse country, and I want them to feel as calm on your wall as they did in the pasture.”

About

Juan Jackson

I'm a Bourbon County native and retired Air Force veteran, and I've photographed horses in the Bluegrass for years. My work has appeared on billboards and in advertising.

I shoot mostly on a Sony RX100 VII and finish each photograph by hand toward the look of classic film: rich Velvia-style color, and black and white and sepia work with a timeless feel.

The horses, pastures and barns in these photographs are all here in central Kentucky, around Georgetown and Scott County.
