My favorite cover: "Benjamin Lowy’s photograph of Floyd Mayweather wasn’t intended to be a cover; he took this shot for what we call a “technique shot.” Yet when we saw the defending champ demonstrating his famous shoulder roll, we knew it had to be the cover of our Fight Issue, one with profiles and separate covers of Mayweather and his opponent Canelo Alvarez. We decided to go with a bright white background—a rarity for The Magazine—to contrast the fighter’s dark skin, showing off the beads of sweat on his forehead and intense concentration in his eyes. We offer this cover as an athlete who is the embodiment of his craft in a rare moment when boxing rose to the top of the sports conversation." In this photograph, you can clearly see that it is an image of the boxer Floyd Mayweather. This photo shows the boxer in his natural environment and comfortable in what he is doing. I like how it is easy to tell from the cover that this man is a boxer. I also like how this image...
I loved the angles that you took your pictures from.
