16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Steps

In "Steps," I wanted to capture the dexterity of a horse. Due to this focus on lines and form, I instantly thought of formalism, an artistic concept that shows the adherence to form. In "Steps," I chose to capture the form of a horse's calves and the barn paraphernalia next to it as well as the detail of the horse's muscles.
