Out of the Chute
The outcome is still unresolved. Out of the Chute is a study in suspended force: the precise instant a bronc and rider explode from the arena gate into open air at the Evergreen Rodeo in the Colorado foothills, the horse fully airborne, hindquarters driving upward, the rider holding position against pure animal power, the gate handler braced against the rope. Every element is in motion, yet the exposure holds it in sharp stillness.
The panoramic composition works because of what surrounds the action. Cowboys in white hats lean forward at the rail, phones raised, giving the moment human scale; teal arena panels frame the burst without competing with it; and warm foreground sand grounds the image in the Colorado afternoon. The eye moves from the gate explosion outward through the watching crowd, then back to the horse and rider, a circuit that keeps returning to the moment of release.
Drawing on the kinetic color sensibilities of Ernst Haas and the documentary presence of Wim Wenders, the image treats a western tradition not as spectacle but as lived experience: the working West at full intensity, at a summer rodeo that has run for over a century.
Design & Styling
With its warm gold and amber tones, dynamic panoramic composition, and unmistakably western subject, Out of the Chute brings energy and authenticity to mountain homes, ranch properties, rustic-modern interiors, sporting lodges, western hospitality spaces, and executive offices. The panoramic format suits the width above a sofa, credenza, or conference table, and its leather, sand, and denim tones pair with reclaimed wood, iron, linen, and hide.
Curated Pairings
To build a rodeo wall around Out of the Chute, consider these companion pieces from the same arena:
For a two-image contrast wall: Pair with The Painted Storm, grey bronc and chestnut paint: two horses, two moments, one arena.
For three events: Add Black Thunder, for bronc riding, paint horse fury, and bull riding: three events, three tonal registers, one century-old Colorado tradition.
For the full Evergreen Rodeo wall: Add The Conversation and Her Run, for a five-image wall across every major event and across panoramic, landscape, and square formats.
Fine Art Presentation
Available as a signed fine art print on ChromaLuxe® Metal (gloss, semi-gloss, or matte), Glossy Anti-Glare Acrylic (TruLife), canvas, wood, and archival paper (framed or unframed). ChromaLuxe® Metal gives the image its strongest impact: the sharpness of the suspended moment, the contrast between warm leather tones and cool arena panels, and the texture of the sand all benefit from metal's luminosity, and larger panoramic sizes make the horse, rider, crowd, and arena more immersive. Framed archival paper gives a softer read with greater subtlety in the crowd and atmosphere, and framed canvas adds warmth for rustic and lodge-style spaces.
Note: Custom and oversized photographic prints are available. Please contact the studio directly to discuss custom framing, matting, or specialized museum glass options.
