A photo shoot with Rob Powell and Horseplay Photography is a fun filled experience that produces stunning photographs of your horse and captures all the magic of the relationship between horse and owner.
"I couldn't recommend Rob more, I've had a smile on face throughout the whole process. The photo shoot was amazing - Rob spent several hours with my family, my horse and our dog and we all had a fantastic time. It was such a fun yet laid back experience and he captured some beautiful moments. I am now the owner of many wonderful photos and memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much."
Jenny Pratt with Cherry
"I love them! Thank you so much Rob Powell!" Xx

"We approached Rob for his skills as a specialist equine photographer having had his work recommended to us. We understand the importance of providing quality photographs for our catalogues and website, and, as a market leading equestrian retailer, the effect that this can have on our brand. The patience and understanding Rob shows when working with animals and models is extremely important to achieving the standards our business expects."
Martin Bentham, Operations Director Robinsons Equestrian

Memories to treasure forever
The only problem being which ones to choose !!"

"Rob is one of the best in the game. Period."
Gillian Geoghan with Merlin & George
"...Rob did a photo shoot for my family and our horses & dog last weekend. He took the time to make sure he had a great range of shots, we really struggled to chose favourites from the 250+ images as at least half of them deserved wall space. Rob has a great personality and manner, making both human and animal subjects relax and deliver great natural poses. Rob has a fantastic eye for composing images, many of the shots looking perfect right off the camera, not requiring cropping or re-touching. I'll be using Rob again for any photographic work I need and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone requiring a good photographer..."
David Rowe with Jacks, Imp & Family
"...We released OJ and thats when Robs work started, he captured every moment, (which Oj actually knew the show off that he is) The natural ability rob has to capture the love, the honesty and truthfulness of the relationship between you and horse is truly amazing.I could not wait for the photo's to arrive and when they did i was breathless, he had captured the most intimate and ultimate moments i could ever wish for, they are truly amazing photo's.I have them all over my home and everyone who visits admires them..."
Joanne Graham with OJ
"I had wanted some good photos of Charlie since I bought him 4 years ago. An 18 year old 16.3hh Irish Draft, he is a beautiful chestnut and the most adorable horse you could meet. Rob`s attention to detail and his compliance with my every wish made the session fly by and be one of the most enjoyable experiences ever.The finished photos are breathtaking. The choice I had and Rob`s professional advice and expertise are second to none. Here is someone who genuinely cares for horses and other animals and is an expert in his field.I would not hesitate to recommend Rob to anyone who wants a memorable, classy and professional session and photos. You simply could not get better."
Hilary Milander with Charlie
"Can i just say it was really hard to pick which photos to choose as they were all really good. I buy pictures of my daughter and her horse all the time and they all tend to look the same but you managed to capture some fantastic shots."
Anne Collins with Becks & Kerry
