Robert Vavra is one of the most famous horse photographers in the world, but he doesn't see himself that way.

"I view myself more as an artist and storyteller," says Vavra, 76, who runs two miles a day and has the voice of a man decades younger.

The artistry has made his work an international success, with decades of endurance. Romantic, mythical and boldly evocative, Vavra's photographic compositions of horses seem like something from a magical storybook come to life.

"My aim is to capture the true romance and beauty of the horse," says Vavra, something he has done as an author and photographer of nearly 40 books whose subjects span continents and six decades.

On Saturday, the International Museum of the Horse at the Kentucky Horse Park will open Vavra's Vision: The Equine Images of Robert Vavra, the first major retrospective of Vavra's 60-year career as an equine photographer. It continues through May 30.

How do you get four horses most of the way up the Eiffel Tower? In the lift, two at a time, of course. We know this for certain because the Italian artist Paola Pivi has done it. And to otherworldly effect.

Strong and muscular but graceful when they move, horses have inspired artists and writers for centuries.

But these pictures show the animals as you've probably never imagined them before - posing for portraits in a professional photographer's studio.

And this isn't any ordinary studio - it's a 3,000 square foot backdrop and stage which the photographer, Lindsay Robertson, takes to stables in the back of his Transit van.

Mr Robertson, 58, from Edinburgh, designed the studio himself and revealed that it cost him a 'five-figure' sum to create.

To make the backdrop, he had to buy two enormous rolls of muslin before sewing them together in the only space he could find that was large enough - a railway station car park.

He then spent a month painting the muslin and rigged up a system of poles to raise it to a right angle. Next he built the 700 square foot stage upon which the horses stand for their portraits.

Horses are a popular subject for sculptors as they are beautiful and majestic creatures. Equine sculptures can be found in public spaces all over the world, from parks and gardens to museums and galleries.

Equine sculptures can be realistic or abstract. Realistic equine sculptures often depict horses in a natural pose, such as grazing or galloping. Abstract equine sculptures may be more stylized or geometric.

Equine sculptures can be made from a variety of materials, including stone, metal, wood, and clay. Stone and metal are popular choices for equine sculptures, as they are durable and can withstand the elements. Wood and clay are also popular choices, but they are more fragile and require more care.

Equine sculpture is a diverse and fascinating art form. It can be used to depict the beauty and power of horses, as well as to explore more complex themes such as movement, freedom, and the relationship between humans and animals.

Here are some additional characteristics of equine sculpture:

Equine sculptures often capture the horse's movement and grace.
Equine sculptures can be used to express a variety of emotions, such as joy, power, and beauty.
Equine sculptures can be used to tell stories, such as the story of a horse and its rider or the story of a particular horse breed.
Equine sculptures can be used to create a sense of place, such as a sculpture of a wild horse herd in the American West.

Equine sculpture is a beautiful and expressive art form that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
