While shooting a boxing match, you can hear all the punches. They sound like suction cups popping as the gloves strike the body. You are surrounded by the roar of the crowd as the action heats up.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>I started shooting back in college by photographing my friends while playing sports. I knew then that photography was what I wanted to do. After college, I got a job as a dark room manager for a publishing company that published boxing and wrestling magazines called\u00a0<em>The Ring and Pro Wrestling Illustrated<\/em>. Today, I continue to photograph boxing (and other sports) for Getty Images. In this article, I\u2019ll be sharing everything I\u2019ve learned during my time shooting <strong>boxing photography.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"633\" class=\"wp-image-87707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-1317018949.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-1317018949.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-1317018949-300x190.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>ARLINGTON, TEXAS &#8211; Christian Alan Gomez Duran prays in his corner against Xavier Wilson, before their welterweight fight at AT&amp;T Stadium on May 08, 2021 in Arlington, Texas.

I make sure to get to the arena early. I try to secure a photo position at ringside, then I unpack my gear.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The\u00a0ringside position\u00a0is a fixed position on the ring. You share your space with a select group of photographers, television, sound people and judges. Once you\u2019re there, you cannot move. The general rule is to try to shoot from under the bottom rope. You need to stay on your side of the ropes and do your best to avoid the action in front of you.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p>There is a unique ebb and flow to each fight. No boxing match is the same.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You need to know the styles of the fighters that are boxing. Are they dancers?\u00a0\u00a0Brawlers? Are they both? There is a unique ebb and flow to each fight. No boxing match is the same.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You\u2019re also going to have a referee that constantly dances in and out of your frame. You\u2019ll be shooting up into a set of lights that are about 30 feet above the ring setup on a square tussle. In some arenas, there are LED scoreboards in the background, which you want to avoid. I\u2019ve always preferred the arenas where the background is clean.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>At the end of the night, you\u2019ll likely be mentally and physically worn out. I have left boxing matches with sore neck and shoulders, and elbow burns. You are so close to the action that you may even get blood and sweat on you during the fight.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"756\" class=\"wp-image-87708\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-75416709.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-75416709.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-75416709-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-75416709-370x280.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-75416709-120x90.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>ATLANTIC CITY, NJ &#8211; Arturo Gatti has a split upper lip after being knocked down and out by Alfonso Gomez in the seventh round of their Welterweight fight on July 14, 2007 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Oftentimes, I use all the focusing dots at once and it handles the boxers moving in and out magnificently.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>At ringside, I typically use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ca2470.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canon EF 24-105mm f.4 lS II USM Lens<\/a> for much of my work. Since most of the action is happening right in front of me, this is my primary lens. I also have a wide-angle lens \u2014 like a<strong> EF 14mm F2.8 II USM Lens<\/strong> or <strong>8-15mm f.4 Fisheye Lens<\/strong> \u2014 with me. This lens is for capturing knockdowns or action that is right on top of me. Finally, I bring a <strong>Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 IS III USM Lens<\/strong> for corner shots, close-ups, and some action shots.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"718\" class=\"wp-image-87709\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-503451022.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-503451022.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-503451022-300x215.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>NEW YORK, NY &#8211; Amir Khan punches Chris Algieri during their Welterweight bout at Barclays Center of Brooklyn on May 29, 2015 in New York City.

The undercards are a series of fights that take place before the main event.\u00a0I establish my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/white-balance-photography-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">white balance<\/a>, shutter speed, and aperture before the match begins. I normally shoot at 1\/1250 at f.4. Usually, the ISO is about 6400. I set my white balance to AWW and adjust from there.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>My computer is usually set up under the ring apron. I typically send images throughout the night.\u00a0\u00a0Sometimes the images are transmitted directly from my camera via ethernet. Other times, I tag images and physically take the card out of the camera and load the card onto my computer.\u00a0\u00a0Getty Images uses a specific program that is able to detect which photos I have tagged, ingest them into my computer, send them to my offsite editor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips for Shooting Boxing Photography\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wear Dark Clothing<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>I always\u00a0wear dark clothing\u00a0to a boxing match.\u00a0\u00a0The main reason is so I don\u2019t stand out so much at ringside. But, truth be told, I have gotten blood on me too many times to count and ruined some light-colored clothing in the past.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Photograph the Undercards<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If it is your first boxing match \u2014 or if your 1000<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0boxing match \u2014 I always shoot the undercard. You get to practice before the main event.\u00a0\u00a0There are usually 6-8 undercard fights before the main card. You can use this to experiment and work out the kinks as you lead up to the big fight. Some of my best photos are from undercard fights.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pay Attention to the Corners<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You also do not want to forget what goes on in the corners between rounds. The boxers get a minute rest between rounds to recover. During that time, the corner people have specific jobs.\u00a0\u00a0There is a trainer that gives the fighter instructions, and a second one who handles the mouthpiece and watering down the fighter. There is the cut person who tries to stop cuts and swelling during the break. It is like a mini triage unit in the corner, that could make for great photos.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" class=\"wp-image-87711\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-2070749.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-2070749.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-2070749-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>ATLANTIC CITY, NJ &#8211; Arturo Gatti (L) and Micky Ward trade punches during their Junior Welterweight bout at Boardwalk Hall on June 7, 2003 in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

You are battling television and microphone people blocking your view. There are also round-card girls stepping in and out of the ring. There are also corner people blocking you. You need to be ready for a knockdown or knockout. This can come at any given time. It is a harrowing experience when you miss a big punch or knockdown. The best I can say is to never put your camera down.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stay at the End of the Fight<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>At the end of a fight, the ring fills up with what seems like a hundred people. It is very hectic, and you have to keep your wits about you. They announce the winner and then there is celebration and more people jumping in your way. You might even have to yell to the referee to bring the fighter over for a belt shot.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>I try to have fun along the way.\u00a0\u00a0I make sure I introduce myself to whoever is sitting next to me.\u00a0\u00a0You are sharing that space with them for at least six hours.\u00a0\u00a0It is not easy but shooting boxing photography can very rewarding \u2014 and exciting!<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disclaimer: The following content contains graphic images.
