A Knockout Session with Ari at Trinity Boxing Club: LA

My recent session with Ari at Trinity Boxing Club: LA in Beverly Hills was an unforgettable blend of grit, strength, and artistry. As both a creative and a boxer, Ari brought an unmatched intensity to the shoot, making the experience as exhilarating as it was creative. There’s something undeniably electrifying about capturing moments in an environment where strength meets artistry.

We began our session after the day's training had wrapped up, allowing us to have the space entirely to ourselves. The stillness of the empty gym created a stark contrast to the earlier hustle and bustle, providing the perfect backdrop for our shoot. Ari’s familiarity with the space added an authentic touch to the images, making them feel raw and powerful.

We kicked off the session around the punching bags and mirrors, areas that naturally set the tone for the day. The reflections in the mirrors added a unique dimension to the photos, capturing multiple angles of Ari’s movements simultaneously. Her powerful jabs and swift footwork against the backdrop of the hanging bags conveyed a sense of raw energy, while the dim gym lighting enhanced the moodiness of the space.

To elevate the drama even further, we played with flash photography, which introduced sharp contrasts and emphasized Ari's form and expressions. The interplay between the harsh lighting and the gym’s rugged textures added a cinematic quality to the shots. Each flash of light captured moments of intensity, freezing Ari in action and highlighting her strength and grace.

After spending time around the bags, we transitioned into the boxing ring. The red ropes and worn canvas provided a dramatic stage. The ring’s iconic atmosphere lent itself to some truly striking imagery, especially when combined with the creative use of flash. The lighting accentuated every movement, turning each shot into a powerful narrative of determination and resilience.

The session at Trinity Boxing Club: LA was more than just a photoshoot—it was an exploration of contrasts between strength and beauty, light and shadow. Ari’s versatility as a boxer and model, paired with the gritty, authentic environment of the gym, made for a series of images that are bold, dynamic, and full of life. I can’t wait for another opportunity to push the boundaries of creativity in such an inspiring setting.
