This shoot was about reimagining boxing beyond competition— treating it as performance, discipline, and poetry in motion. Working with Jordan King, the top collegiate boxer in the nation, I wanted to capture the aesthetic dimension of the sport: its beauty, rhythm, and quiet intensity.
Process & Execution:
I leaned into contrast— shadow against light. sweat against skin— to heighten boxing's physicality while framing it as art. The direction and composition emphasize elegance in the moment rather than sheer aggression— this approach strips boxing to its visual and emotional core. This project blurs the line between athletics and art— regardless of boxing being an aggressive sport, it is also an expressive medium of discipline, rebellion, and artistry.
