About

This monochrome photograph by photographer Hana Asano features a Black woman seated on a horse while holding a crop. She wears a riding helmet, a short-sleeved white polo top, light-colored riding breeches, black tall riding boots, and dark gloves. Her long dark hair is styled in braids cascading down her back. The horse is equipped with an English saddle, quilted saddle pad, bridle, and reins. The lighting is bright and even, highlighting the textures of the leather tack and riding attire against a softly blurred outdoor backdrop.
