There is something special about a captured moment. I know that sounds immensely lame, but if you think about it, it’s true! As much as video content has taken off and become the most-consumed media format, I think I’ll always gravitate towards a beautiful photo. Our latest featured photographer is none other than Shannon Brinkman, who can most frequently be found at some of the largest international competitions all over the globe. The woman has visited more Olympic Games, more World Equestrian Games, and more venues than I’ll probably ever see and it’s fascinating to hear her talk about her world travels — or to view them through her work!
Shannon was the official event photographer at The Fork at Tryon International this weekend, and her all-star team captured shots from all levels competing. If you competed at The Fork this weekend, you can order your show photos from Shannon here — and keep an eye on her website and Facebook for more updates on where to find her next.
And let’s flip through a few of our favorite shots from this weekend:
