Cardenas: Horses & Home | Robert Vavra
Assignment
World-renown equine photographer Robert Vavra is one of the best selling coffee table book authors in the world. For the first time ever, he collaborated with another photographer to create this massive 272-page book capturing the horses & 16th century family home of the famed Cardenas horse breeders.
Approach
We photographed this outstanding Moorish/Renaissance castle comprehensively and had the honor to photograph the scenes of pure-bred horses on the palace grounds under the art direction of master Robert Vavra himself.
Results
A lush coffee table book described by the Chicago Times as “one of the most gorgeous books to come out… Chasan’s opulent photos offer insight into an aristocratic world seldom seen.”
Feedback
“The only book I have ever produced with any other photographer’s participation was “Cárdenas: Horses & Home”... To capture the magic and majesty of a 16th century palace and make it shine alongside my own images, there was no doubt in my mind of whom to turn to. Collaborating with Wayne on that project was for me an unusual, exciting and uplifting experience.”
