Horses of Iceland

The large coffee table book about perhaps the wildest horses in the world: the horses of Iceland are characterised by their gentle disposition, sharp mind, strong, muscular build and thick coat in countless colour variations. Argentinian photographer Guadalupe Laiz has created an atmospheric portrait of this special breed. You can discover captivating impressions of different types of Icelanders in the wild. An overwhelming pictorial journey that accompanies Icelandic horses out in the wild. Candid moments characterised by the beauty of these unique animals.

The first edition of the book, which was released four years ago, was based on a project spanning five years, during which the photographer made several trips to Iceland. The photo collection is dedicated to the special beauty of Icelandic horses, which is best showcased in the wild and against the dramatic landscape. The result is a portrait of these unique animals, whose fur, ranging from dark brown to natural white, becomes tangible through sensitive photography. The large-format coffee table book is now being reissued with a selection of recently taken photos.
