Coty Tarr, Photographer, New York

Description

This monochrome sports photograph captured by Coty Tarr freezes a competitive swimmer in motion during a race. The athlete wears a dark swim cap bearing an American flag and the name Douglass, plunging through the water with arms extended forward. Countless water droplets and heavy splashes erupt around the swimmer, creating a dynamic, high-energy focal point. The composition uses high-contrast lighting to accentuate the textures of the churning water against a dark background. Lane markers are visible in the blurred distance behind the athlete.
