Inspired by the story of Dave Payne - a 70 year old boxer and bare knuckle fighter I took some time out to tell his story the best visual way I could. I hope you like it.

original music score by Marc Johnston and Gary Lawson

shot entirely on the Canon 5D MK II with Canon 16-35 f2.8 Canon 24-70 f2.8 L-series lenses
