Sacha Stejko, Photographer, Auckland

Description

This striking portrait captures two ice hockey players equipped in team jerseys and protective helmets while standing indoors. A strong, bright overhead light source creates a dramatic flare effect and casts deep, atmospheric shadows across the scene. The composition focuses closely on the athletes against a textured industrial backdrop with mesh screening. Shot by photographer Sacha Stejko in Auckland, the image uses an analog-inspired photographic style with prominent grain and cool blue-toned lighting highlights.
