Lionheart Boxer


On Nov. 5th, i had the pleasure of shooting the boxers at Lionheart Boxing gym located in Port Arthur, TX. This is a type of shoot have always wanted to do. Male boxers in the gym in the ring. The Staff and team were great and very helpful. In total that day we shot a total of approx. 400 images, some still shots and some action of the boxers sparring and shadow boxing, speed bag and heavy bag. This is an image i picked out to show the lighting and PP work.
For this look the PP work was much easier when the image out the camera gave me alot of what i was after.

Three Light Set-Up

As you can see we have the build-up shots, one to test rim light placement, and one with main light added.  All the combined to get this image image.

Pre-Final Image


Next we did a little photoshop work.  to add a little mood and darken background.  Added skin highlights and skin smoothing.  We use TK Lumino. mask, a little dodgeing and burn to create this our final image.
