Alyx Gore’s path to professional photography is as authentic as the subjects she shoots. The wife of an injured veteran, she picked up a camera as a hobby several years ago – and what began as a personal passion quickly caught the attention of those around her. Her eye for the raw energy and emotion of Western life resonated deeply, and she soon found herself as the go-to photographer for barrel races and equestrian events across her region. Today, Alyx is flown across the country as lead photographer for some of the nation’s top equestrian and Western events, bringing the same genuine connection to her subjects that made people take notice in the first place. Her work doesn’t just document these events – it captures the culture, the grit, and the heart behind them.
