Pain Rage!

This is a portrait immediately after my subject suffered a bare knuckle boxing loss at the event I was shooting. His roar into my camera highlights both his pain and unbreakable spirit in defiance of his defeat.

I encourage the viewer to cover up half of his face down the middle and revel his conflicting expressions of pain and rage.

Shot on Nikon Z8 with Z 24-70 2.8 S lens. Shot at 24mm, f2.8, 1/200s, Iso 1600. Edited in Lightroom.
