# Esther Towler Fine Art Equine Photographer
Esther Towler is a British fine artist based in Rochdale, Lancashire, who creates compelling photographic art exploring wildness, freedom, and humanity's connection to the natural world. Her practice spans lens-based photography, environmental cyanotype, and photo-encaustic techniques, each medium serving her singular obsession: witnessing and preserving untamed places before they vanish.
Her most celebrated work, the six-year *Wild Hearts* project, documents Britain's rare native horse breeds with dignified, powerful compositions that celebrate overlooked animals shaping our landscape. Beyond portraiture, Towler creates experimental environmental cyanotypes on locations like Saddleworth Moor—abstract imprints capturing the essence of wild terrain—alongside expressive encaustic pieces exploring movement and freedom.
Towler serves collectors, equestrian enthusiasts, and those drawn to contemplative fine art who seek genuine connection rather than commercial imagery. Her audience values slow looking, environmental consciousness, and work that honours the untamed spirit within nature and ourselves.
What distinguishes her practice is the fusion of rigorous documentary work with experimental alternative processes, creating limited-edition prints and one-of-a-kind pieces that feel both intellectually considered and emotionally resonant. Her recognition includes endorsement from award-winning photographers, whilst her workshops in alternative processes invite deeper engagement with her artistic philosophy.
