Info

Fencing reads as a niche sport with a lot of history. I shot it as a fight. Blades in extreme close-up, footwork, metallic sound design, impacts held in slow motion and then released. A duel is decided in seconds, so the edit works in seconds. The goal was to make someone who has never watched fencing stay until the end.
