Location
I took this photo at a local, Colorado Springs boxing ring.Time
This was taken early in the morning, which really didn't matter because there wasn't any natural light.Lighting
I used a softbox with a speedlite as the primary source of light.Equipment
For this session, I used a Sony Alpha 7II. The flash was controlled via RF transmitter and I didn't use a tripod. The lense used was a 28-70. This gave me a lot of flexibility to move around the ring.Inspiration
I actually did not have this photo in mind when I started. However, one of the boxing coaches took an interest and suggested we use the wraps as a prop. It really made the picture.Editing
Not a lot on this one. I adjusted the color and lighting and then dropped the saturation to give it a washed out feel. My goal was to emphasize the grittiness of a boxing gym and I got there with this one.In my camera bag
Sony Alpha 7II, 50mm, 28-70 and 14mm prime. Cleaning supplies, tripod and extra batteries.Feedback
Always get someone else's opinion. In this case it was the boxing coach who provided the key suggestion.
