ABOUT

Annie Studholme is a specialist equine photographer and journalist. She lives on a large sheep and cropping farm at Coldstream, near Ashburton, with husband Alastair, and two children, Olivia and William.

Annie has spent her life around horses. Her parents are actively involved in the thoroughbred racing industry, breeding and training racehorses. Annie started riding at an early age and went onto compete in all disciplines.

Since completing a Bachelor of Arts followed by a Diploma in Journalism, Annie has built a strong reputation as a leading equine photographer and journalist across all horse-related fields. 

Her images and articles frequently appear in magazines such as NZ Bloodhorse, New Zealand Thoroughbred, NZ Thoroughbred Racing Monthly, NZ Racehorse Owner Magazine, The Bulletin (official magazine of Equestrian Sports New Zealand) and NZ Horse & Pony Magazine, as well as a number of other publications. She is also a member of the International Alliance of Equine Journalists (IAEJ).

Most recently Annie has started writing for Canadian-based Breeding News for Sporthorses and has just started as the South Island's primary photographer for the Australian showing magazine Horse Shows.

Annie attends many equestrian events and race meetings during the year, and is also available at private invitation for events, promotional photographs, stallion shoots, mares and foals, profiles and website photographs. Refer to SERVICES.

To look at a sample of Annie's work take a look in PORTFOLIO.

If you are looking for photos from specific events, people, studs or breeders look in either LATEST, PEOPLE or EVENTS. LATEST features photographs Annie's taken in the past few months. Photographs will not stay on the website indefinitely. Photographs from those events and people featured on the EVENTS and PEOPLE pages are available on request as it's just impossible to have everything featured on the website.
