"I am a nature photographer of all things wild and beautiful. From the time I was young, I have always had a deep love for the great outdoors and the beauty and solace it brings. Based in Utah, I have endless opportunities to explore and create. I specialize in landscapes and wild horses. I hope you enjoy my work. You can also follow along on instagram at @darlenesmithphotography."

"My photography goes beyond aesthetics; it serves as a powerful tool for advocacy and awareness. Years ago, I began photographing a remarkable wild horse herd in Utah and fell in love with these wild symbols of freedom. After a federal operation led to many of them being removed from their home on public lands, I adopted a bonded pair of wild horses—Stargazer and Nora. Their story, which you can explore below, further inspired my commitment to raising awareness about the plight of wild horses in the American West. Their journey is a testament to the impact we can make when we combine passion with action."
