Viviane Sassen, Photographer, London

Description

This striking editorial image captured by photographer Viviane Sassen portrays three young boys on a sandy slope during twilight. The composition is anchored by a steep diagonal sand dune that rises from the lower left to the right side of the frame, set against a vast, deep blue evening sky. In the foreground on the right, a boy is captured mid-air executing a dynamic flip or leap, kicking up a fine spray of golden sand that catches the low-angled warm light. Further down the slope, two other boys stand and watch, one wearing a yellow shirt and the other in dark attire. The stark contrast between the warm golden tones of the sand and the cool twilight sky creates a dramatic and evocative atmosphere.
