Ben Pier, Photographer, New York

Description

This dynamic photograph by Ben Pier captures a cowboy mid-air, leaping gracefully above a saddled dapple-grey horse while twirling a lasso. The cowboy wears a wide-brimmed hat, dark t-shirt, and blue jeans, with his body caught in an athletic pose of movement and balance. Below him, the horse stands steadily on a dirt ground surface against a low stucco wall. Tall palm trees reach upward into a vibrant, clear blue sky overhead. Natural sunlight illuminates the scene, casting sharp shadows on the ground below.
