Chasing Wild Horses

Chasing Wild Horses is a beautiful story of reverence and splendour. Roberto Dutesco, New York City’s top fashion photographer, works with human beauty every day. Raised in Canada, his unique artistic eye has brought him fame and recognition throughout the fashion world. Many years ago, he took a small plane to Sable Island, where he found an exceptional environment that would change his perception of beauty and undeniably impact on his art. The discovery, on this unique island, of wild, long-maned, untamed horses, running through the dunes was an aesthetic experience like no other for Roberto. He became fixated with the natural beauty of the untouched wild horses. In Chasing Wild Horses¸ he returns to the island with his camera and with him, we discover the hidden treasures this country can offer. Access to the island is nearly impossible – very few are admitted and these measures have been put in place to preserve the island. Through his photos, and his gallery in New York, Roberto wants to bring support to the various organizations dedicated to preserving the beauty of Sable Island.
