Using Equine Photography As Mental Health Therapy - E-book - ePub

Using Equine Photography as Mental Health Therapy is a self help book that outlines the usefulness of equine photography as a tool for mental health difficulties and depression. The author only briefly touches on the technical aspects of the art of photography as she believes it's not about the quality of the images that you make that's important. This particular type of therapy is all about your emotions, thoughts and feelings in the moment and beyond.
She has chosen the horse as the subject of this book, because not only does she love them (a lifelong passion!), she also knows that they are the perfect animal to help humans to heal. Tina Collins is an ambassador for equine assisted therapy and she wrote this book as she agrees that the horse is a 'divine mirror': an animal capable of reflecting your emotions back at you. They help you learn about yourself and can break down psychological barriers.
