Samantha Taylor
Photograper & Graphic DesignerHi, my name is Samantha and I have been involved with horses since I was born & I have 16 years of photography experience.
Together with my mum, Sheree - we own and operate "Shiranna Arabians and Derivatives" on the daily basis. I started freelance photography at 16 years of age. At the age of 17, I covered my first show, and this kickstarted my career as a professional photographer.
Since then, I have had the honor of photographing at some of Australia's biggest Arabian specialty shows and equine breed & performance events, along with breeders and owners for private farm photoshoots. I have also been lucky to work commercially with well known Australian brands like Peter Williams, Earlwood Equine, Saddleworld, LP Designs & Regent Equestrian.
I am just as equally as passionate about graphic design, completely self-taught by watching YouTube tutorials and "trial and error", my designs have been published in magazines worldwide and that feeling of elation stays with me all these years later when I see my designs printed!
Copyright Information
Purchased photos will have a digital signature of my name placed on them (on event photos, my signature is placed small and discreetly down the bottom corner, not to take anything away from your image). Photo credit is not a requirement but greatly appreciated.
My digital signature is not to be removed/edited off any of my images I have taken.
If a graphic designer is using my photos and removing backgrounds, please make sure you supply a simple photo credit somewhere on the design.
If any image surfaces social media with a watermark over the image with "STOLEN PROOF" or "COPYRIGHT" - please report!
No-one has my permission to use STOLEN PROOFS in any way, shape, or form. The use of stolen images is considered to be theft, and you will receive an invoice for copyright infringement at a rate of $125 per stolen image.
This extends to using AI apps like ChatGPT to remove my stolen proof and signature without purchasing. Any images suspected of this, I will be invoicing for the image at the rate of $125 per image that has been stolen.
ANYONE WHO BREAKS MY RULES AND REFUSES TO REMOVE THE IMAGES AFTER REQUESTED & TO PAY THE INVOICE WILL BE ON MY BLACKLIST AND NEVER BE PHOTOGRAPHED AGAIN
I own the copyright on all images I take, meaning I have the right to reproduce/publish/print any photograph taken by myself, Samantha Taylor.
