Fight like a girl... Win like a Woman
Fight like a girl… Win like a Woman
.
Sooo, i was walking through the house and saw my kids’ boxing gloves lying on the table and i got this idea…
A couple nights later, i had set up the shoot when my youngest (15) son walked in and looked at me like i was crazy. However, when i told him my idea, and quoted the title, he was allll into it. He started posing me, scoping the background, and clicking the shutter. So in fact we could say he took the photo and i was the model.
He loved it so much he insists i buy it as a poster and hang it on the wall of my room. Of course, i will! So the writing went on the pic instead of just in the description.
I originally had the idea to add the breast cancer ribbon on the gloves, but the more i look at it, the more i realize it has a much broader connotation.
BTW- i am not a freckly redhead (although i think they’re cute as hell) but it really made the pic stand out as a fight photo. I had to get help with the post processing, i really suck at that.
For all those women out there fighting… this one’s for you
