Nick Turner, Photographer, Paris

Description

This striking black and white photographic portrait by Paris-based photographer Nick Turner captures the rear view of a white horse standing squarely against a dark background. The horse's hindquarters and hind legs are symmetrically positioned, drawing immediate focus to its tail, which is elaborately styled into a tight, intricate braid along the upper portion before flowing loose at the bottom. The lighting accentuates the muscular form of the animal and the smooth texture of its coat. The ground beneath appears rough and textured, creating a sharp contrast with the clean lines of the equine subject.
