Hi all,
A few snaps of US boxer Bernard Hopkins. As usual I had less than 10 minutes for the shots. Used natural window light for the first two and the lamp on my softbox for the other one - No flash just the modeling light.
Any comments much appreciated.
Cheers all
Jeff

| The first thing I notice is the hand positions, they look unnatural to me. I like the poses and lighting is good but the first two the hands just don't look right. Good portraits for the ten minutes you had for them IMO. |

Its probably cause the dude has large, beat down hands. I didn't notice the hands and don't find them obtrusive.
Knowing about Mr. Hopkins fairly well, I believe his face certainly tells the long story of his career as it is coming to an end....and that is a credit to both his willingness and your ability. |

| What a great shoot. Are you going to shoot the Calzaghe fight? I like the first one the best, but the last one really shows how well built he is. Not an ounce of fat. Thanks for posting the shots, I really enjoyed them. |

Great shots, Jeff. I like the natural light ones, but his eyes in the final shot are really expressive. Excellent control on that flash, too.

| Very nice Jeff...I prefer the second one. The lighting really works...and Cutter mentioned that his career is coming to a close, the gaze out the window is like looking to the future and what's out there. Once again...you done good! |
