Explorer Dogs

My companions

My two dogs Rumo and Zim are always by my side. The love to hike, explore and enjoy road trips. Both dogs have already travelled in almost 20 European countries!

Explorer bus

My home on wheels

Some years ago I fulfilled my dream and built a camper myself. With this bus I am travelling all over Europe. This allows me to process and edit my photos directly where I took them, have all the equipment I need always in my reach and spend more time on the locations.

Explorer idea

My background

My extensive training through my studies in visual communication and interface design (B.A.), as well as brand management & creative communications (M.A.) form the basis of my creative work. I work as a freelance designer, marketing expert and photographer in the field of people, fashion and lifestyle.

Explorer tools

My tools

I like staged fine art photography as well as natural documentation of fluffy ponies in a field. I use Canon DSLR cameras and lenses of Canon, Sigma and Tokina from 11 mm to 400 mm to capture my subjects. 

Cécile Zahorka has worked with:

I work in more than 20 countries, from Côte d’Ivoire in West Africa to the Faroe Islands in Northern Europe, photographing and collaborating with traditional state studs, passionate breeders, conservationists, biologists, farmers, and experienced show teams. Speaking multiple languages, I easily adapt to different cultural and international contexts, allowing me to connect with people and capture their horses through my lens.
