Lisa Cueman Photography

I was at the Samuel Owen Gallery in Greenwich recently where the incredible photography of Lisa Cueman caught my eye.

I was at the Samuel Owen Gallery in Greenwich recently where an incredible photographer caught my eye.  Her name is Lisa Cueman and her photography is centered around her lifelong love of horses.

Lisa Cueman, age 4, at her first horse show.

Cueman grew up on the island of Bermuda, learning to ride and care for horses from a very early age.  She grew through the ranks of the British Pony Club and devoted much of her life to riding and showing horses.  As an adult, Cueman relocated to Ontario, Canada, to focus completely on training and riding.  After several years, Cueman retired from riding and began instead to pursue an interest in photography.  Quite naturaly, her photographic work focuses on the horses she’s loved throughout her life.

I love Lisa Cueman’s equine portraits for the beautiful stories they tell.  Her photos, printed on acrylic, have an almost abstract quality from their slightly askew viewpoint.  They have such a peaceful nature, captured in black and white or sepia, made more appealing through Cueman’s own take on this subject she clearly adores.  I would love to have her photographs in my own office when I renovate!
