Published Again: Andrea Webb Photography Featured in Chrome Magazine

There is always something special about seeing your photography in print, especially when those photographs become part of a story worth sharing.

I’m excited to share that Andrea Webb Photography has been published again, this time in Chrome, the publication of the American Paint Horse Association.

The feature shares the remarkable story of Phantom, an incredible horse who has overcome the odds, and his wonderful owner, who has been beside him throughout the journey. Their story is one of perseverance, partnership, and the kind of connection between horse and human that makes equine photography so meaningful to me.

Being able to contribute photographs to help tell their story is an honor.

So much of what I love about photographing horses goes beyond simply creating a beautiful portrait. Every horse has a story, and so does the person standing beside them. There are years of experiences, challenges, accomplishments, and memories behind the relationship we see in a photograph.

Knowing that my images of Phantom are now helping share a piece of that journey with the Paint Horse community makes this publication especially meaningful.

Looking Back at My Published Work

This newest feature also gave me a reason to look back at some of the other places my photography has appeared over the years.

My first published work appeared in Eclectic Horseman Magazine, where my photographs helped showcase a wonderful client from Perry Park Ranch and her journey as a horsewoman. It seems fitting that my first experience with publication centered on the relationship between a horse and the person who loves them — a theme that has continued throughout much of my work.

Another exciting milestone came when one of my equine photographs was selected for the cover of LOCAL Life Magazine’s Equestrian Issue. Seeing my photography on the cover of a magazine was something I was incredibly proud of and remains a memorable moment in my career.

Then came a publication I never would have expected when I originally took the photograph: The Washington Post.

A photograph from a 2022 session with Ashlea Wooten-Chapple and her Ford Mustang Mach-E was later selected for a Washington Post story. It was a little different from the horses, dogs, livestock, and rural subjects that typically find themselves in front of my camera, but it was an exciting reminder that you never quite know where a photograph may eventually travel.

And now, I’m grateful to add Chrome and the American Paint Horse Association to that list.

More Than a Photograph

Looking back at these different opportunities, I think what means the most to me is that each photograph has been connected to a larger story.

A horsewoman and her journey. An equestrian image representing a community. An unexpected photograph finding its way into a national newspaper. And now, a special horse named Phantom and an owner celebrating everything they have overcome together.

That is ultimately what I want my photography to do.

Of course, I want to create beautiful images — the kind that deserve to be printed, framed, and enjoyed for years. But I also want those photographs to preserve something about the animals and people in them: their relationships, personalities, accomplishments, and stories.

Sometimes those images live quietly on the walls of a home. And every once in a while, they find their way onto the pages of a magazine or newspaper and help tell that story to an entirely new audience.

I’m incredibly grateful to every client who has trusted me to photograph their horses, dogs, farms, families, and stories over the years.

And to Phantom and his owner, thank you for allowing my photography to play a small part in celebrating such a remarkable journey.

I’m proud to see Andrea Webb Photography in print once again, and even more grateful that the photographs get to be part of a story like this one.
