More than just a picture.

Real moments. Real connections.

Good photography shows the soul of the being

Good photography reveals the soul of its being.

For over 20 years I have dedicated myself to animal photography – with a special passion for wildlife photography and the quiet, genuine moments in nature.

It is precisely these encounters in the wild that shape my work: observing, understanding, and capturing unique moments in nature and wildlife photography.

At the same time, my photo shoots with horses and dogs create emotional images that reflect this depth – characterized by trust, tranquility and a genuine connection between humans and animals.

My photography combines the pristine nature of the wilderness with the closeness between humans and animals – captured in expressive images that not only show, but also make you feel.

I capture what would otherwise go unseen -

the quiet moments that
one cannot plan, but
just feel.

Wildlife

Wildlife photography means experiencing wild animals in their natural habitat and capturing them at precisely the right moment. It's not just about taking pictures, but about patience, respect, and a deep understanding of nature.

I photograph wildlife with a calm, observational approach – without staging, without intervention. This results in authentic images that showcase the beauty, power, and uniqueness of the animals.

Every moment in the wilderness is unpredictable. That's precisely what makes wildlife photography so special: the waiting, the observing, and recognizing that one moment that tells the whole story.

My pictures don't just show animals – they show encounters. Real, authentic, and full of expression.

Horses

For me, horse photography means making the charisma, strength, and sensitivity of these special animals visible. My many years of working with horses and the close connection I've developed with them have given me a deep understanding of their nature and behavior.

This knowledge and my experience are incorporated into every shoot. With patience, calm, and a keen sense for the right moment, I create authentic images that show more than just a beautiful picture.

Whether free, in motion or together with their human – I capture real moments that are not staged, but arise naturally.

The connection between horse and human can be particularly visible in my pictures – calm, honest and full of trust.

My horse photography stands for timeless, emotional images that touch the heart and last a lifetime.

Dogs

Dog photography means making the character and personality of each individual dog visible. No two dogs are alike – that's precisely what makes every shoot unique.

With patience, calm, and a keen sense for the right moment, authentic images are created that show more than just the outward appearance. Expression, gaze, and movement tell your dog's story.

Whether lively, playful, or calm and sensitive – I capture exactly what makes your dog unique. The result is natural, honest photos that don't look posed, but genuine.

The connection between humans and dogs can become particularly visible in my pictures – if it is there, if it reveals itself, completely without coercion.

My dog photography stands for emotional, timeless images that last.

Karin Leuthardt

I am Karin Leuthardt, a passionate animal photographer. Originally from Switzerland, I have lived in Conil de la Frontera on the Andalusian coast for over 25 years – surrounded by nature, light and animals.

Animals have been a part of my life since I was a child – especially horses, but also dogs and a fascination for wildlife. Through my many years of working with horses and my deep connection to nature, I have developed a keen sense for behavior, expression, and the right moment.

In my animal photography, I'm not just concerned with beautiful pictures, but with revealing the character, personality, and soul of an animal. Whether it's horse photography, dog photography, or wildlife photography – I work with a great deal of patience, calm, and respect.

This results in authentic, natural and timeless images that not only show, but also touch the heart.
