TITLE: Wyoming and Montana Cowgirls, The Legend made Women

Our Photographs claim to be a tribute to Cowgirls from Wyoming and Montana, two among the most iconic cowboys and cowgirls, ranchmen and ranchwomen states of America.
Through our work, we try to highlight the duality and the complementarity that exist between the work of cowgirls and cowboys in spite of the obvious physical differences that characterize them.
These extraordinary women do indeed, to the equal of men and with this peaceful determination and humble courage which are the prerogatives of quality women, and from more than two centuries the ones from the American West, the most difficult and rough tasks.
But in spite of their courage, cowgirls remain profoundly ignored, and if the number of books, movies, Tv programs, photographic works dedicated to cowboys run by thousands, those dedicated to cowgirls are almost non-existent with regard to this profusion we said before.
It is this inequity that we want to repair thanks to our pictures,
Indeed, far from being an old-fashioned folklore as it appears in the mind of many people, especially outside the borders of our country, cowgirls, along with cowboys, pertains to an economic and social reality for the United-States. And whether they are cowgirl or cowboy, our pictures seek to be first and foremost a tribute to these women, and these men, who are across time and hopefully for a long time to come, a pillar of the culture and History of our country.
