Last weekend I traveled down to Brooklyn, NY to shoot current women’s boxing champ, Melissa Hernandez. What I really wanted out of the shoot was to capture the essence and rawness of what a typical training day was like for her. So, I just had her do her normal routine as I followed her around the gym. I’ve always been interested in boxing myself so it was pretty fun for me to see what a typical day in the gym was like. In addition to being a pro boxer, Melissa also trains others at Gleason’s Gym. A few years ago, she even trained Hillary Swank for her role in Million Dollar Baby. Anyway, one thing’s for sure Melissa is one person I would NOT want to take a punch from.
