Photographer: Hermione McCosh - Image title: Horse & Bike, Playa Giron

Hermione McCosh has worked as a professional photographer for over ten years. She has lived in Paris, London and is now based in the north of England. She is most inspired by the real, the normal and the everyday, which is not necessarily beautiful. Her work is often galvanised by what the light is doing. A normal, common object can be made fascinating by the golden light of the evening.

About the photograph

Horse & Bike (Canon 5d lens 24-105 - ISO 320 F4 SS 1/640) was taken near the beach at Playa Giron in Cuba. It was a little bit before sunset and the light was very deeply golden. I had been drawn to a horse with only one ear munching some grass. The horse didn’t seem to mind as I slowly approached and I had taken a few photographs experimenting with different angles. However, it wasn’t until I saw a bike coming up the path that I new the photograph would become complete. I waited until the man was in the right place in the frame to take the photograph. The shutter speed was fast enough to trap the motion of his bike.
