While we were walking around the streets during the 2016 Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk, me and my friends encountered a bunch of children being coached to shadow box in the sidewalk. This child trains to be a boxer in the streets of Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental in the Philippines. Even with makeshift gloves made from bags-sacks of flour with added padding inside, he aims to improve his skill in the ring. With the masses boasting that one of the best pound for pound king the world has seen hails from our country, fighters from all ages are eager to reach that pinnacle. But they all start somewhere. They all start in the streets through blood, sweat and tears. From worn out gloves, shoes taped up with duct tape and even making the streets their ring, kids like these fight not only for their dreams but also for the people that pushed and made them stronger.

Location
A boxing class was practicing out on the streets in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, Philippines. This kid caught my eye and was amazed on his form and fierce skills.Time
This was taken just before noon.Lighting
This was shot using only ambient light. It was overcast during this time and I knew that this was perfect for my shot.Equipment
I used a Sony a6000 with an 85mm T1.5 Samyang Lens.Inspiration
Coming from a simple life myself, I admire kids who wants to pursue their dream at a young age. Dedicating their day to day lives to become the greatest.Editing
A bit of contrast, sharpening, and brightness.In my camera bag
I have my Sony A6000 with an 85mm T1.5 Samyang, Sony A7 with a 28mm f2.8, and a Fujifilm XE3 with a 35mm f1.4.Feedback
walk. look for corners where there are interesting subjects. connect with them eye to eye. establish a connection. understand their story and photograph them in the best light possible.
