When you look at Sara Thigpen’s photography, you can expect to feel something. Her eye for capturing unique vantage points illuminating the action of the western horse world pairs with her editing style of contrasting bright colors with shadows and darker tones for a moody, visceral effect.
A professional photographer and the owner of eastern NC’s Rustlin’ Rose Photography, Sara has been passionate about taking pictures and interacting with horses since she was a child.
Growing up, she remembers her grandpa always carrying his camera around taking pictures and her mom printing some of his pictures out for their home. Her grandpa involved Sara, setting his film camera up on a tripod outside and allowing her to play with it and experience how it worked.
