Sports Photo: Week 3

Today i discovered the photographer Sandro Miller and i fell in love with him a little bit. He does portraits and documentary etc. but he has significant body of sports portraits and work and they are beautiful. His stuff is bold but quiet and is genuine and moody. He also has done a whole book on the bull matadors in Spain and the book is really awesome. I was actually really quite lucky and was given a copy by an amazingly sweet woman. I love the emotion that he captures and thrusts out into the world through his portraiture. His tones and lighting are also beautiful. Sandro had a few images of fencers as well which got me excited just in terms of me thinking about how slight inspirations for my kendo project. There are portraits of the fencers with their masks and head gear on and you can see their faces through the masks. I really like that. Both his black and white work and his color work are great. His color is actually really pretty. I love Sandro's work because i feel as though it has peace and power at the same time.
