This striking black-and-white photograph presents a vast, desolate desert landscape under an expansive sky, evoking a sense of isolation and raw beauty. Dominating the foreground, a figure stands assertively, wearing only a cowboy hat and boots, creating a striking juxtaposition of vulnerability and strength. Tethered to the standing figure, another individual kneels, introducing a complex power dynamic that challenges conventional notions of dominance and submission. The sharp contrast between the smooth, uninterrupted horizon and the textured foreground amplifies the starkness of the scene. The photo’s compelling composition and minimalist aesthetic invite the viewer to ponder themes of freedom, control, and human connection, leaving a lasting impact through its bold and evocative imagery. This artwork masterfully balances narrative depth and visual simplicity.
Presentation
Ricky Cohete was born in a coastal city in Ecuador, but mainly, grew up in Miami. Florida's light was what drew him in to explore photography. The harsh lights and shadows were easy to encounter in this warm weather. The crisp and refined effect of this type of lighting conditions became a necessity to avoid studio settings. Self-taught; while photographing the ballet dancers in the city of Miami he started dedicating more time to the male form.
Working with them outside of their secure space (rehearsal studio) and bringing them outside, on the sand or water, creating a dynamic that kept birthing new compositions. Inspired by the mythology in tarot culture and astrology he has incorporated certain of those elements throughout his oeuvre.
Lately, he has self-published a photography book that included: short poems and sketches titled “Blanco".
