In the desert, there are no distractions — only the truth of movement, the sculpture of wind, and the eternal dialogue between earth and spirit.

Over the Dunes captures the raw, untamed poetry of horses traversing vast desert landscapes. Shot across some of the world's most dramatic sand dunes, this collection explores the ancient relationship between equine grace and the sculpted wilderness — where every grain of sand becomes a stage for magnificence.

The Artist's Journey

Captured at the Edge of Wilderness

The Over the Dunes collection was born from weeks spent in remote desert regions, waking before dawn to catch the first light as it sculpted the sand into golden waves. Each photograph represents a moment where horse and landscape became one — their movement mirroring the wind that shapes the dunes themselves.

Working with local horsemen and free-roaming herds, I captured the raw poetry of survival — the way these magnificent animals navigate terrain that has remained unchanged for millennia. The result is a collection that speaks to the timeless bond between creature and earth.

The moment I saw 'Traversa,' I knew it belonged in our home. Raphael captures something no other photographer does — the raw, spiritual connection between horse and landscape. It's not a photograph, it's a portal.
