About

The Morocco editorial project by photographer Maya Skelton documents the interaction between movement and landscape along a coastal shoreline. Captured with an emphasis on monochrome aesthetics and grainy analogue textures, the series highlights the physical dynamism of horses in motion against expansive, open horizons. Utilizing natural light to define form, the collection explores both high-energy action sequences of riders in the surf and static, abstract studies of raw earth and sand formations. The work maintains a consistent cinematic quality, focusing on silhouettes and tactile environmental details.
