Ture Lillegraven, Photographer, New York

Description

A group of football players wearing helmets and full uniforms are captured in a snowy environment with heavy atmospheric haze. The composition centers on several athletes in a low stance, poised as if ready for a play. Strong backlighting or mist washes out parts of the scene, creating high contrast and softening the background details. The players stand on a snow-covered field, their shadows cast on the ground below. Shot by photographer Ture Lillegraven, the monochrome-toned image emphasizes texture in the snow and the protective gear of the athletes.
