I had the opportunity to shoot for Old School Gym this week. They needed something to work with their new website that's coming later in March. These images will be used as page illustrations to keep the theme of the site focused on the traditional fighting gym to separate it from the rest of the gyms in Tucson.
The theme was low key lighting and high-energy Old School fighting. I decided to go with black backgrounds, high contrast, and low colour saturation to keep a modern look but an almost vintage feel. I wanted these guys to look as tough as they are and convey the energy of the sport. Old School Gym trains boxers and Martial Arts/ UFC fighters.
I wanted to illustrate the energy more than focus on the individuals -- this way over time as the faces changes at the gym change, the photos are still current.
