Working as a stunt horse rider is a largely male-dominated occupation.

But for her gallery in this edition, 27-year-old British freelance photographer Anastasia Taylor-Lind focused on two women who travel the world performing this dangerous activity for audiences and film cameras.

At 22, Camilla Neprous is one of the world’s leading stunt riders.

Says Anastasia, whose work has been seen in, among others, The Sunday Times Magazine, The Guardian Weekend Magazine, Marie Claire and Geo in Italy: “Having grown up in the circus, where her mother was a performer, Camilla left school at fourteen to join her father Gerard’s stunt riding team The Devil's Horsemen.

“Today she lives with her partner Amy Woodward, who is also a stunt rider, and Amy’s seven year old daughter Skye at the family farm in Buckinghamshire.

Camilla and Amy plan a civil partnership next year. They work together travelling around Europe, during the summer performing trick riding at horse shows and for the rest of the year body-doubling for Hollywood’s biggest stars on film sets.

Camilla’s father Gerrard and her brother Daniel are also stuntmen and they have over eighty horses at their farm Wychwood Stud in Buckinghamshire.

Camilla’s achievements are all the more impressive given that most stunt riders are men. When I first met her she told me that she has always had to work twice as hard as a woman to earn respect as an accomplished athlete in a sometime superficial workplace.”

Anastasia attended a World Press Photo/Asia-Europe Foundation photography workshop in Hanoi, Vietnam in 2004.

She shot all of her images for this gallery with a Canon 5D with either a 28mm or 35mm fixed lens, using available light.
