Grant Harder, Photographer, Vancouver

Description

This portrait photograph by Grant Harder captures a man swimming in a natural river against a backdrop of dense green trees and overcast skies. The subject wears a black swim cap, a wetsuit, and a blue-and-white snorkel mask with the lower portion of his face and the snorkel partially submerged in the rippling water. The natural lighting highlights the wet textures of his gear and the surrounding water. The composition focuses tightly on the swimmer with a shallow depth of field, keeping the lush forested banks softly blurred in the distance.
