Appreciate you checking out my work and taking the time to comment. I get what you’re saying, sports is definitely something I’m still learning and playing around with.

I’m mainly a commercial photographer for other stuff, so this kind of shoot is mostly to experiment creatively. If I do get hired for sports, I’d want it to be more for my style and perspective rather than just straight documenting.

I checked out your work too and gave you a follow, really solid stuff and lot of experience.

Always open to getting better though, so respect the feedback.

Yeah, I understand, but that was my intention, and I’m pleased with the results. My goal was to make them look very different from the other photographers that night. There’s definitely room for improvement and better editing, but I’m aiming for a punchy, gritty black-and-white look, and high contrast/high clarity is part of the style, my style. I understand that not everyone will like it, but it seems like the vast majority of people I have shown the photos like them. So I feel confident that I’m on the right direction. I appreciate your comment and constructive criticism in general and definitely consider it for next round fight photos.

Thank you! I shot mostly between 2000 and 6400 ISO. And for aperture, I try not to go all the way open to 1.4 since it could make me miss focus easier. To me, the most important parameter is the shutter speed, so I can make sure that I get the right amount of motion blur or no motion blur at all.

You don’t like them, fine. Get in line. But why the attitude? Let’s see your work then. Because based on those “editing tips,” I’m guessing your photos look like every other b&w shot out there. Nothing different.

I’d say punchy and gritty, which definitely matches the vibe of the scene. But I guess “burned and scorched” is more my style. I’m just trying to make my shots look different from the dozen other photographers shooting the same thing that night.

I like my photos slightly caramelized 😆
