Boxers with Trainer, Angola, Louisiana 11 - 1999

"Boxers with Trainer, Angola, Louisiana" is a black and white photograph by Deborah Luster, taken in 1999. The image depicts three men, two boxers and a trainer, posed in a studio setting. The photograph's muted tones and the men's serious expressions capture the intensity and discipline of the sport. Luster's work often focuses on marginalized communities, exploring themes of race, class, and identity. This photograph is part of a larger series documenting life in Angola, a maximum-security prison in Louisiana.
