Bob the Boxer

A few selected photographs of my friend Bob, who I met 15 years ago. He was 20 back then, a young impressionable man that I met in an underwear fashion show in Central. We got to know one another and he became my flatmate for about 4 months before he headed back to the USA to get his accounting degree. He returned to Hong Kong and began his life here anew. He’s got this eye set on becoming HK’s champion boxer in his weight division at 60kg. These shot of him are him at 63kg. The poor guy starved himself the night before with only 1 meal. I offered him an apple and a glass of water when he arrived at my studio. Thankfully, he picked up right away and the shoot went amazingly well.
