Boxing

A great intensity in this portrait! The B/W give strength to the image and your choice to put the subject in the right half of the frame keeping the black negative space free creates tension and directs the observer's eyes on the face of the boxer. The motion blur is also very effective.

Great portrait of a young man that seems to have clear the meaning (and the consequences) of boxing. The black and white seems the natural choice to render the situation and light emphasises the skin textures and the black eye. I love also the square format and the close-up choice

Boxe is a very intense and energy expensive sport, where the athletes are pushed to face their limits more than in other sport. This picture reminds to alla that the physical preparation is very important and the art of boxing relays on that more than on punching. A wonderful light, focus and framing give to the picture the ability to tell a story

What I love in this picture is the message that comes from it. The boxe is a very basic sport. Actually to start practicing it you don't need anything but the willing to start. You learn the movement, the gym and the strategies and, more, it's a social sport that put the people together and this is priceless
