François Rousseau, Photographer, Paris

Description

This dynamic black and white action photograph by François Rousseau captures a kayaker intensely navigating turbulent white water rapids. The composition freezes the explosive splashes and frothing motion surrounding the watercraft. The athlete wears a protective helmet and specialized athletic gear while gripping the paddle firmly. The high-contrast monochromatic grading emphasizes the raw energy and movement of the river. The shot was captured in Paris.
