open your eyes.

Everyone always talks about how important communication is between writers and photographers. Well its true. My boxing story was set to run today, and I didn’t know that It had changed to be centered around a certain boxer, Jamyle Cannon, who is aspiring to be a pro. Turns out I had no pictures of him. major oops. So I high tailed it to boxing practice, got a much needed lecture from Elliott about seeing more in the situation than just guys throwing punches, and followed around Jamyle until he was done.

I need to reshoot this one, I was so close to separation….

 

 

 

 

I’d really like to keep shooting this guy, someone told me he runs in the mornings and trains in between classes. It’d make for a pretty cool photo story, and I’m pretty sure he’s one of the top people in his weight class.

Thanks again Elliott for knocking me out of whatever weird funk I was in with boxing pictures. Thats what happens sometimes when you shoot something a lot, you start having tunnel vision as Bret Marshall calls it, and you only see the same thing.

Open your eyes.
