Morning all,
A friend of mine at University asked whether I could come down and take some images of one of their training sessions. They've just had a new temporary facility installed and there's a lot of excitement on campus surrounding this, especially with some of our high profile athletes.
Anyway.... first time photographing boxing.... wow, it's hard! It's so fast! But always a privilege to work with our enthusiastic athletes as they help me learn how to photograph different disciplines in a variety of lighting conditions.
It was a big of a struggle as the facility is very small and the lighting very direct, with no natural light at all! Plus, as it's small, many of the backgrounds are messy as there's a lot of clutter on floors etc. I chose a much harder / grittier edit for these as I believe it suits the images over the somewhat clinical look that usually comes out of the gym.
Still - I'm happy with the results and grateful for the opportunity
