Portraits of Brutality

This photography project delves into the intense world of boxing through a series of gritty, up-close portraits of Biel, a charismatic boxer and social media influencer. The images capture the raw emotion and physicality of Biel's profession, highlighting the contrasts between the brutality of the sport and the vulnerability of the individual. Shot in stark, high-contrast lighting, the portraits reveal every detail of Biel's face and physique, from the sweat-drenched skin to the scars and bruises that tell the story of a life spent in the ring. The project aims to humanize the boxer beyond his public persona, exploring the depth and resilience that define him both in and out of the boxing arena.
