Photographer Matt Slocum captured an impressive image of Raphinha and Achraf Hakimi casting long shadows on the field at a recent Olympic event in East Rutherford, N.J. The shot took advantage of unique lighting conditions created by the evening sun coming through the stadium. Slocum's perspective from a catwalk allowed for an unconventional view that highlighted the players' body language and the movement of the ball, adding depth to the image.
