Simon Winnall, Photographer, London

About

This close-up photograph by London-based photographer Simon Winnall captures a man's outstretched arm and open hand positioned against a rugged natural rock face. The skin is dusted with white climbing chalk, highlighting the pronounced muscle definition, veins, and tactile texture of the arm. Natural daylight casts a distinct shadow of the limb onto the uneven stone surface below. The tight framing focuses entirely on the physical effort and raw texture of the climber's hand in an outdoor setting.
