RocBoxing

I have recently wanted to photograph a different subject, just to add some variety. I wanted to experiment with a less styled and grittier looking images and I was inspired by the boxing profession. Today I went to RocBoxing, a local boxing gym, with a Q Flash, stand and camera. Everyone was so welcoming. I was able to shoot a couple of the boxers there, one of them was even from the junior levels.

I really would like to continue with this. I'll be graduating soon and leaving Rochester, but I'd like to find another gym and actually have time to form more a repore and comfort level with the athletes training there.

The images from this shoot are in my Portrait section until I can make a larger project from it.

Beauty and Boxing

Photographed Kathryn today. Our shoot encompassed two different looks/themes. The first was a set of beauty shots. The lighting was kept soft with a balance of shadows and midtones and the focus was on Kathryn as well as some handcrafted jewelry.

The second set of images was done with a fitness/boxing theme in mind. We worked with a simple background and utilized a couple props for the theme, a punching bag and gloves. The shots range from a woman who portrays a ring girl, with a sporty look in heels, to the look of a fighter in training. The images all still have the element of beauty but accent the body in more of an athletic way.

Images will be on my website in the Editorial and Beauty sections.
