Jeff Forney, Photographer, New York

Description

An action-oriented sports photograph captures a skateboarder suspended mid-air in a high aerial maneuver above the smooth concrete curves of a skatepark bowl. The subject wears a protective helmet, knee pads, t-shirt, and shorts, with a skateboard held firmly underfoot. In the background, several distant figures stand along the perimeter of the park beneath a pale, bright sky and palm tree silhouettes. The composition employs high-contrast, sunlit daylight under an open sky, emphasizing the dynamic motion of the jump. Captured by photographer Jeff Forney, the shot freezes a moment of peak athletic performance within an outdoor concrete skate bowl.
