It is an image taken during a session in summer 2010. My intent was to develop a situation in which I could reproduce the training phase of a boxer. The location is an old garage where the punchball was hung; I used a specific corner of the room where the wall had a perfect texture for what I had in mind. I use an off-camera flash through a white translucent umbrella. I used a wide angle lens to get a distortion that emphasizes the trajectory of the fist and the arch of the arm.
