Chris Dickinson
It wouldn't be uncommon to find this premier western photographer propped on his elbows in the mud, boots covered in manure, facing a rearing horse, all for the sake of the perfect shot. He's a man who does whatever it takes to achieve greatness. Early in life, Chris was inspired by looking through magazines like National Geographic and LIFE as his mom would take him to the local library. Today he is always on the lookout for a different angle, a new way to push himself while exploring a much deeper and soulful creativeness beyond the technical limitations of his image creating tools. Fundamental to his creativeness is the trust he's gained over the years with those he follows allowing him unprecedented access and acceptance creating his iconic images.
Chris' images have been regularly published in and featured by some of the most celebrated western publications, like American Quarter Horse Assc (AQHA), Cowgirl Magazine, Western Horseman, and Working Ranch. In addition, his images have been used in national and international advertising campaigns with some of the world's most notable brands, like KFC, Choice Hotels, Horse Health Products, and many more.
"Safe and secure, these are two words that come to mind when I put on the Cotton Carrier G3 two-camera harness system. Without a doubt there’s nothing more secure that will prevent my camera from shaking to pieces while I’m on horseback out on location. The ability to focus on riding while knowing that my cameras are secure is just simply invaluable."
