Photographer Nicolai Howalt is perfect for coming up with [creative stylistic themes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/z-fc). Having already been featured for her '[Car Crash Studies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shooting),' this 'Boxer' series is just another superb addition to her already colorful portfolio.

The series features several [before and after shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam) of young boxers, ranging from adolescents to young teens. The earlier sets don't present too much of a difference in the photos, but as the series goes on, the images get more and more hardcore. Be sure to check out the gallery for a better look at the 'Boxer' series by Nicolai Howalt.
