About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a group of four people outdoors, riding and walking beside horses. One person on horseback is waving something in the air, while another person on horseback sits still. A third person kneels near a pack animal, and a fourth walks alongside, holding a long stick. The background is a hazy landscape with hills. The photo looks like it was taken during a hunt or a journey. The horses and the way people are dressed suggest a moment of travel or activity in nature. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how light and shadow create drama in photos and paintings.
