Description

An adult male hockey player is captured mid-stride as he skates across an indoor ice rink, kicking up a spray of ice shards from his skates. He is wearing a dark athletic jacket, dark pants, and protective gloves, holding a hockey stick close to the ice with a puck nearby. The scene is set inside a vast indoor arena featuring empty spectator seating along the upper levels and industrial ceiling trusses overhead. The lighting focuses dramatically on the skater against the cool grey tones of the ice and surrounding boards. This dynamic sports portrait was photographed in Chicago by Thomas Chadwick.
