Christiane Slawik Calendar Passion 2010 from WeingARTen-edition

Our early summer shooting- and workshop tour led us to southern Germany, Switzerland and France. Absolutely stunning couloured stallions from different breeds as well as some cute Arabian foals helped Christiane, to create some outstanding photos with lots of emotional and dynamic moments.

Romanian movie-horsetrainer and stuntman Valentin Vasilescu presented us his eight magnificent stallions in the nature and the Castel-filmstudios close to Bukarest. As a true horselover, he is already fighting for years against the cruelty, many horses have to suffer from in this country.
Also, we discovered some rare horses like Dutch Tuigpaarden, funny ponies and a lot of beautifull Friesians- some in Transsylvania, right beside the legendary Dracula-castle.

Despite the early time of the year, Christiane already had her first shootings around eastern. She met some noble American Saddlebreds and Arabians, fiery Andalusians, cute Icelandic Horses, Ponys and heavy Draft mares- all surrounded by blooming trees. And there are more to come!
