Nick Simonite, Photographer, New York

Description

This dynamic action photograph captures a close-up perspective of horses running across a sandy track or arena. The composition focuses tightly on the lower legs and hooves as they impact the ground, sending sprays of sand and dirt flying into the air. The lighting highlights the texture of the loose earth and the physical strain and movement of the animals. Captured by photographer Nick Simonite, the image uses a shallow depth of field to keep the sharp focus on the kicking sand and protective leg wraps.
