Shadow of a rider on horseback cast on a dusty ground with scattered straw, captured from above.

Cully Wright, Photographer, New York

About

This overhead photograph by Cully Wright captures the dark, elongated shadow of a rider mounted on a horse cast directly onto dry, dusty ground. Scattered pieces of straw texture the earth surface, illuminated by natural sunlight that creates sharp shadow contours. The composition is taken from a high angle, looking straight down at the ground plane where the silhouette forms the central subject. The stark contrast between the dark shadow and the pale, textured earth emphasizes form and geometry.
