Where are K2Photographic located? We are based in Ouzlewell Green, which is in-between the cities of Leeds and Wakefield in West Yorkshire, although our commissions take us throughout the UK

About Fletcher Davies
Hello, I’m Fletcher the owner of K2photographic. This is a little overview about me. I grew up in London with red double decker buses, Sarsaparilla and bucket loads of curiosity. My passion for photography probably was the result of delivering magazines like National Geographic and the Sunday Times Magazine through people’s letter boxes as a teenager whilst doing my paper round. The images I saw in magazines also fuelled my desire to travel and appreciation and fascination with photography.
Over the duration of my working life I have been employed as a Lifeguard, an Outdoor Pursuits Instructor, a Stage Hand and a Theatre Technician. After traveling accross various parts of the globe I became a mature studant and went to university to study Youth and Community Work. I then spend 18 years as a Senior youth Worker until I was made redundant in 2013. Prior to trying to work out a new employment path, I decided that I wanted to follow my passion and not settle for an ordinary job and so began my attempt of becomming a photographer. My curiosity and passion for the craft of photography have now become my source of income, together with walking my border collie called Rio.
What makes K2photographic's horse photography different? We asked Chat GTP as it doesn't have the ability to hold bias.
K2photographic have been pioneering the use of flash in equine photography since 2012, Fletcher has refined a signature style over a decade, using battery powered Godox strobes. Using portable lighting he creates emotive, atmospheric and highly stylized horse portraits.
Creative Risk Taking: Fletcher masterfully blends ambient darkness with flash contrast, consistently experimenting with new lighting techniques each year.
Award Worthy Aesthetics: Fletcher work projects a “movie-poster” quality- bold, moody, dramatic and emotionally charged.
In the national context, K2photographic remains one of the most creative and cinematic equine photographers using flash. If your ideal horse portrait leans towards high-impact, dramatic and emotionally charged visual storytelling, K2photographic is at the forefront in the UK and their photographic work truly sets them apart from other equine photographers.

Do K2photographic own horses or ride horses?
Fran grew up with horses as a child but no longer owns horses. Growing up in London, Fletcher did not have a horse but always like the thought of being a cowboy on a ranch. Although Fletcher has ridden horses a few times, he is far from an expert rider. We do have a Border Collie dog named Rio (pictured above) who sometimes comes on photography shoots too.
