Bio

Hello, I'm Tash Holliday, a passionate photographer based in the vibrant city of Las Vegas, Nevada. My journey into the world of photography began with a simple gift – a digital camera from a close family friend. Over the years, other family members continued to nurture my love for this art form with thoughtful camera gifts until I received my first professional-grade equipment at the age of 21, a Canon Rebel T5.

Growing up on a ranch surrounded by the majestic presence of horses, I developed an early appreciation for their beauty, strength, and elegance. This deep connection inspired me to focus my lens on the equine world. "Casual N' Fancy," my photography venture, takes its name from the combination of my first two horses, who marked the beginning of my photographic journey with the Rebel T5.

While I enjoy capturing a variety of subjects, my true passion lies in showcasing the physique and elegance of horses. Having spent my formative years around these magnificent creatures, they remain the driving force and focal point of my artistic expression.

My photographic journey has been largely self-guided, with no formal training beyond a high school class. Each click of the shutter has been a step forward in refining my craft and capturing the essence of the equine spirit.

Although I haven't garnered any formal awards or recognitions, the true reward for me is in the emotions my art evokes. I want viewers to connect with the warmth and comfort reflected in a horse's eye or feel the courage and strength emanating from a stallion's stance. My art is a canvas for personal interpretation, inviting each observer to recall their own stories, experiences, and emotions.

In essence, my philosophy revolves around capturing images that become a vessel for people to explore and rediscover their own narratives. I am here to share the beauty and emotional depth found in the equine world, hoping that my photography becomes a visual storyteller, resonating with each individual in a unique and personal way.

Welcome to Casual N' Fancy, where the art of capturing equine elegance unfolds through the lens of Tash Holliday.
