Description
This monochrome photograph by Simon Stock captures a close-up view of hands meticulously wrapping white athletic tape around a fighter's knuckles and wrist. The shallow depth of field keeps the taped hand in sharp focus while the background and auxiliary hands remain softly blurred. The stark black and white grading emphasizes the texture of the gauze and the tautness of the application. The composition focuses intimately on the ritual preparation of combat sports equipment.
