ABOUT

I photographed the legendary Haringey Box Cup, one of Europe’s largest and most respected amateur boxing tournaments. This year’s event brought together over 300 boxers from across the UK, Ireland, Albania, Norway, Sweden and beyond. It’s the kind of arena where emerging talent tests itself under pressure, and where boxing greats like Anthony Joshua, Katie Taylor, and Nicola Adams once made their mark before going on to conquer the world stage. I went with a very intentional lens. I wanted to feel into the atmosphere, not just observe it. My approach was to embrace the imperfect, the unfiltered, and the real. I sought out the raw energy, relationships and dedication that lives between the ropes, the sweat, the stillness and the sparks before a storm. I wanted to make images that don’t just show what happened but pull you into the space. The nerves, the triumph the disappointment, the camaraderie and the rhythm. To place you ringside, as if you were right there too!
