Award-winning photographer leads close encounters with horses

Lynne Pomeranz combines her lifelong feeling for horses with a talent for photography to lead others on close encounters of the equine kind. Lynn has developed workshops to share some of her own marvelous experiences in getting to know horses in their natural setting. UNM Continuing Education is fortunate to offer two of her workshops this semester! (See below.)

The image to the right is an original photograph copyrighted to Lynne Pomeranz with prints for sale on archival paper. Lynne reports that Cloud, a wild mustang, is still living free at age 12 with his harem in the Pryor Mountains. Visit Lynne’s website to learn more about her published works, including a book, and her life with horses. The galleries are particularly stunning.

Lynne’s images have graced the covers of numerous publications, including The Gaited Horse, New Mexico Horseman’s Directory, Horsemen’s Voice, and the book “Tony & The Cows.” She has received an Addie award and awards from the American Horse Publications. Presently, Lynne is represented by galleries in Sedona, Arizona, Corrales, New Mexico and Albuquerque, New Mexico. In the Fall of 2006 her first book, “Among Wild Horses,” was released by Storey Publishing.

Her workshops in the Jicarilla Wild Horse Territory provide an educational opportunity to learn about the behavior and social dynamics of wild horses and to observe and photograph them in their natural environment. In addition to information about the horses, Lynne shares her knowledge of photography as it relates to capturing equine images on film or digitally. If you are not a photographer, feel free to take field notes, sketch or simply enjoy the horses and scenery. (You should be technically comfortable with your own equipment prior to the workshops.)
