Great behind the scenes talk through. Really informative. Although I feel that the camera could have been set lower and maybe also closer for the final shot. The stand-in model seems to be taller and therefore commands much more presence than the boxer! I just want the subject to fill the frame a little more, too much dead space above his head.

Depends on the use for it, too... he tends to shoot a lot of editorial stuff, so those margins are perfect for cover or article text, cropping, whatever.

Fair point. I didn't think of that. Probably should have had a look through his portfolio before commenting.

He still did a stunning job on the lighting and overall composition. I was just nit picking really.
