Capturing the Best of the European Western Industry
Claudia Dermois
I didn’t grow up in the horse world, but I built my place in it at the highest level.
Today, I specialize in capturing elite westernhorses and riders across the European western industry, working at shows where every detail matters and every performance counts. As a photographer at the NRHA and NSBA European Championships, I’ve documented some of the finest horses and competitors in Europe. I’m also part of the organization behind one of Europe’s largest western shows and serve on the board of the Nederlandse Quarter Horse Associatie. That experience shapes how I see every moment.
I know what it takes to compete at the top. I understand timing, presentation, and the moments that truly define a run. My work goes beyond simply capturing what happens in the arena. It’s about creating powerful, refined imagery that reflects the quality of your horse and your program.
My photography is for those who take their sport seriously. For those who want their horses presented at the level they perform.
Because when everything comes together in the pen, you deserve images that match that standard.
If you’re looking for a photographer who understands the industry and delivers at the highest level, you’re exactly where you need to be.
Trusted by the Industry
Over the years, I’ve worked with leading associations within the western industry, with my images consistently used for magazines, advertising, and major promotional campaigns.
At shows, I deliver full-scale event coverage with a strong focus on quality, consistency, and fast turnaround. Every image is created to meet professional standards for print, marketing, and social media.
If you’re looking for a photographer who understands the industry and delivers at the highest level, I’d love to be part of your show.
