Photos: Liga Liepina. Find her on Instagram and Facebook.

Liga Liepina is a photographer with a unique specialty: Beautiful horses roaming majestically around stunning Icelandic landscapes. Her love of photography began as a teenager, when she and her family would travel to Iceland and she was given the responsibility of taking family photos with a small digital camera. “I’ve always had a special place for photos in my heart,” she told Tenderly. “I’ve always thought how important it is to capture memories and to be able to look back at them.”

As Liga became more serious about photography, she began to focus on landscapes, and, since horses had been a part of her life since she was young, she started taking photos of her equine friends as well.

I started at first with the standard portrait photos of horses, but soon realized it would be a shame to “waste” all the stunning surroundings Iceland has to offer, so soon enough I started to photograph the horses in various nature settings.
