Surrounded from absolutely beautifull, paradise-like nature, Christiane made her long-standing dream come true and photographed noble Arabians on the stunning tropical islands of the Seychelles.

Between the jungle, turquoise waves, softly moving palmtrees and giant granite rocks, she wants to do a very exclusiv photo-workshop in September 2009. Just check the photos at the gallery- You´ll love it!

If you are interested in joining the horse-photo workshop, just ask without any obligation at info@slawik.com.

Spring / summer 2008 was very busy with photoworkshops, exhibitions, book-productions and plenty of commission work. Finaly we can present more then 1300 brandnew equine and riding pictures in a special gallery. Discover and enjoy the amazing highlights of Christianes work in Switzerland, France, Austria, Czechia and Germany!

What a great surprise! Christianes last book "HORSE: A PORTRAIT" won two important publishing awards in the USA: The IPPY Award (Independent Publisher Book Awards) and the Benjamin Franklin Award for the best animal book of the year. Her next book "Happiness is a horse" and calendars for 2009 will be published again by "Willow Creek Press" this month. Thanks for the wonderfull cooperation!

Christiane was jury in the equine-photography competition from "The Center for Fine Art Photography" (Fort Collins CO/USA). She judged more then 1750 pictures from all over the world. The winner, runner up and Christianes comments can be seen on www.c4fap.org

For the first time, three famous german equine artists are united in a special exhibition: The National park museeum on the horse island Juist presents the work of Christiane Slawik (photography), Christiane Bötzel (paintings) and Brigitte Eberl (sculpures) from 5.7.2008 until June 2009. The artists know each other for years, love the idea and want to go on with it!

Around the photo workshop in Pöllndorf and for the breeders Association of the South-Tyrol Haflingers, Christiane has taken some great spring pictures. An Iceland stallion with a perfect Piaffe and playing Haflinger stallions are not the only highlights!

If you are looking for pure bred barb-horses, there is only one place in the world to go: Algeria. Despite all the objections, we visited the second-largest country of Africa. Surprised by the beauty of the landscape, the quality of the horses and the hospitality of the algerian people, we can only say: It was worth all the effort. If you want a very special horse for a very reasonable price, you´ll find it at the Haras Chaouchaoua in Tiaret!

Christiane Slawik and Thomas Fantl got married on the 29.2.2008. We kept our names and hope, that life just stayes as it is. Thank you for all the good wishes from all over the world!

Countless shootings on several continents, far more than 100 titleshots from Moscow to Toronto, about 20 calendars, eight photoworkshops and a successfull coffeetable book in english, german and czech language. 2007 was a great year! For 2008, our timetable is again filled with some exciting trips and projects. We are looking forward to it!
Until then, enjoy our latest pics from Egypt in the gallery at "NEW SHOOTINGS".

All the best for 2008, lots of success, health and happiness for You and those you love!
Thomas + Christiane
