Lum Doy

Lum Doy is a young boxer at the gym, he is 17 years old with a shy smile that comes out at any opportunity. He seems like such a sweet boy I wonder if he has the anger and drive to be a champion boxer. All the boxers I have met are polite to me, all like to joke an smile and laugh. You can see thou that some boxers have a bit of Mike Tyson in them a intensity, an anger that can drive them in the ring, I wonder if Lum Doy has this quality.
I want to have both intensity and kindness in my photographs. Typically boxing portraits are rather harsh and show the predator nature of the fighter personality, I hope my portraits can also show the more human side, the more human qualities in these people.
