Equus: Underwater Rhythm
Using his background in fashion photography, Drew Doggett sculpts each image into a brilliant, unique symphony of light and form through a sweeping array of tones. These range from hues reminiscent of the soft romanticism of charcoal to the crisper, more pronounced contours of black and white.
Within these images, silhouettes of horses radiate an innate strength of spirit enabled by their graceful, undersea movement. Their forms are a fitting companion to the simple yet luxurious backdrop of the sea filled with light. The horse remains the focus, and the water is the canvas.
Almost celestial in nature, Underwater Rhythm offers a new perspective reframing a classic, enduring subject.
