The Life of a Boxer
This shoot was kinda different from my average shoot. It was indoors and I had very little room to work in. Unlike being in nature where I have all the space to work I could ever want. The boxer featured in the shots is Alex who is a personal trainer in Denver, Colorado. He has a fighting background in MMA and trained back in Brazil.
This shot shows the boxer taking a rest after a grueling workout session. He sits with his back against an old brick wall that is crumbling after hundreds of years. The light is coming from camera right beaming through a window that was close by. The heavy bag sits in front of him almost taunting him to keep on working.
Shot details: f/22; 1/250 sec; ISO 640; 5616×3744 Pixels
Focal Length 110mm; EF70-200 f/2.8L IS USM
Camera Details: Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III
This shot shows the boxer taking a second to meditate and think about his form and power. His abs shine with the light and he shows off his perfect figure. His head in bowed down looking toward his feet. The shot has a nice blue color shift giving a cold feel to this boxing image.
