Packing A Punch

Last week I attended the Te Awamutu Boxing Tournament which were held at the local Sports Centre. The place was buzzing and contestants came from all over the place with boxers of all ages competing. I was originally asked to photograph the event by Jamie Hansen from Empire Espresso who is himself active in the boxing community and also a trainer. (you can see their photo shoot here)

Friends and family and members of the boxing fraternity looking on as the competitors fought it out, with the winners and losers taking trophies at the end of their bouts.

While these competitions have traditionally copped some criticism I have to say the event was conducted in a safe and controlled environment with medics on hand to tend to any emergencies and the camaraderie was inspiring between the fighters.

Photographically I enjoyed my subjects being so focused on their fighting – not having to give any direction I was able to shoot away and get real, honest shots.

Just like any other night at my local Public House… Hah!

Well, perhaps not…

Quite the local event! A bit of mid-week madness! And to those who made the effort to get dolled up in their 70’s garb, very well done! You all looked the part!

I will be posting a lot of the photos on my online proofing site http://psstudio.nextproof.com in the near future so head over there for a look!

Racing ‘Round the Mountain

The Maunga 100 Cycle Challenge organised by NZ Rotary in conjunction with Te Awamutu Sports Cycling Club is an annual event that is becoming the benchmark for the more established Taupo Cycle Race which has been in operation now for over 30 years.

ps|studio DPI was approached to get involved in the cycle event early on, attending meetings, giving professional advice on photography and design and generally offering a helping hand for this large sporting event which believe it or not is only a few years old. The Maunga 100 is an event which the organisers hope in years to come will be one of the best cycle challenges in New Zealand.

They certainly put on a great event! with over 300 entrants over its 3 main challenges, a 12k, 30k and the almighty 100k Challenge, not to mention a Bikes and Trikes assault course for the younger enthusiasts. it proved to be a great mix of a pro sporting event and a great day out for the whole family.

The 100k Race attracts many professional and enthusiast cyclists from all around New Zealand.

Due to the scale of the event we had a total of four photographers joining in on the fun of capturing the event. Thanks to Dave, Jason and Mîchell for your help covering the event.
