Kaori Oiwa a female boxer who works out in one of the best gyms in Brooklyn. The same gym where Millionaire Dollar Baby Hillary Swank trained. I recently was approached by Gavin Thomas a photographer, who showed interest in shooting portraits of athletes. Great timing I thought because I am going to be doing the makeup for a film Directed and Written by Ed Ronin who has an actual female boxer as one of the stars.
Basically we got the ok from Kaori and the gym to shoot there, and Gavin photographed some fantastic shots. I then put some FX work into hand and gave her a bruise and a gash below her eye. She never knew what hit her.
