Description
This stark monochrome photograph by Los Angeles-based photographer G L Askew II focuses on the lower body of an athlete preparing for a sprint. The athlete stands on a textured running track next to painted white lane lines, leaning down to adjust metal starting blocks. The high-contrast black and white grading emphasizes the texture of the track surface, the athletic footwear, and the mechanical metal components of the starting equipment. The low-angle framing isolates the kinetic preparation moment before a race.
