I
f you’re looking for photographer Jack Mancini, the best
place to find him is at the Palm Beach International
Equestrian Center in Wellington, Florida. Jack is the
Official Social Photographer of the FTI Consulting Winter
Equestrian Festival as well as the publisher of the Official
FTI Consulting Winter Equestrian Festival Yearbook. The
showgrounds is his home-away-from home.
While Jack has always loved photography, the first part of
his life included working as a long haul trucker traveling the
wide open spaces across America, then raising kids and cattle
and working in the cutting horse industry in his adopted home
state of Texas. Growing up in South Florida, Jack felt the
call of the Sunshine State and returned to strike out on his
own and pursue his love for photography. He felt that the
world class venue of the FTI Consulting Winter Equestrian
Festival would be the perfect location to pursue his dream.
Mancini Photos is sponsored by Sigma of North America,
manufacturer of cameras and lenses and is a member of the
Nikon Professionals group.
When not at the Palm Beach Equestrian Center, Jack lives
in Wellington full time, photographing horses and living as a
single dad and proud father of Linzee, Heather, Wilson, Jazz
and JP. Visit his work at www.manciniphotos.com.
