ODDA Magazine ‘RIDE ME’ A RIVER 2026

About

Captured from a high-angle perspective, this action photograph showcases two rodeo cowboys in a dirt arena as part of Stefano Ortega's project for ODDA Magazine titled RIDE ME A RIVER. One cowboy wearing a light-coloured long-sleeve shirt and white hat rides a brown horse, while another cowboy in a vibrant blue shirt and white hat is dynamically thrown or lunging near a steer and a second horse. The textured dirt terrain fills the foreground and background, emphasizing the gritty and raw atmosphere of the event. Natural daylight illuminates the scene, casting subtle shadows across the dusty ground. The composition highlights the high-energy movement and intense physical action of the participants.
