Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
I was originally inspired to shoot this subject after watching 'Raging Bull' and 'On the waterfront'. Over the course of several years I visited boxing gyms in the East End of London. I photographed each boxer directly after training in the ring. I asked some of them to shadow box to camera and others to stand and look through the camera. All of the boxers were in different stages of their careers. Some youths just starting out, some new to boxing who were in training for their very first fight, seasoned pros who were looking to win a title, division champions and retired boxers one of which was into his 90's. I chose black and white to give them a nostalgic feel and a nod to the films I watched. The prints are printed onto Dibond brushed aluminium, firstly because it worked very well with this subject matter and also the aluminium gave off a reflection which gives an extra quality in different lights because of the reflective nature due to the brushed aluminium so that the image has a different luminosity during the day and night. It also gives a grainy quality (brushed) at close up and almost a life-size feel to the portraits due to the A0 sizeing.
