EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Michael Kooren, we are transported to a tennis court in June 2003. The image beautifully captures the intense focus and athleticism of a tennis player as he serves, with his elongated shadow cast gracefully on the clay surface. The composition is strikingly simple yet powerful, emphasizing the solitary figure against the vast expanse of the court. The sharp contrast between light and dark creates an intriguing visual effect, highlighting not only the physical prowess of the player but also symbolizing his inner determination and dedication to his craft. The choice to capture this moment in black and white adds a timeless quality to the photograph, enhancing its artistic appeal. It invites us to reflect on how sports can transcend time and space, evoking emotions that resonate with audiences across generations. Kooren's keen eye for detail is evident in every aspect of this image – from capturing each ripple on the clay surface to freezing that split second when power meets precision during a serve. Through his lens, he allows us a glimpse into both the physicality and mental fortitude required in competitive sports like tennis. This print serves as a testament not only to Kooren's exceptional photography skills but also reminds us of our shared love for sportsmanship and athletic excellence.
