The Boxer

Composite shoot. Started with a basic studio shoot , i positioned my lights for a generic composite set up, 2 long strip boxes left and right rear , added 1 blue colored light pointed towards the back drop and a beauty dish front and top center as my main light . I then pieced together my background adding bits and pieces. I also added the fence as a foreground element to give it more depth and a 3d feel. Finished off with skin retouch, dodge and burn and levels and curves adjustment.

And I always thought that you just had killer locations to shoot at...seriously, awesome work and the methodology is also appreciated.

Ha Haaa !!!! I used to spend a lot of time looking for cool locations but found out it was much easier doing the shoot in a studio and putting the background in later. Now i just take photos of locations I like and use them for composites later , made my life much easier !!
