Neil Leifer
Muhammed Ali "Get up"
Get up
The fight was between Muhammed Ali and Sonny Liston. During this fight Muhammed Ali was defending his heavyweight championship. This photo was token of Muhammed Ali's knockout blow to Sonny Liston.
Style
Leifer's takes most of his photos of sporting events. The first half of his career began with taking photos with Sports Illustrated then he go a job with Time Magazine and did 40 covers for them. Recently he has been working on short stories and documentaries. When Neil Leifer worked at Sports Illustrated his photos had been taken not created, but when he got a job at Time Magazine most of his cover were created.
My Opinion
This photo is very unique because it shows Muhammed Ali Knocking out Sonny Liston. The fight was very controversial if it was staged or not. Since this photo was taken and not created there is nothing I could change but if I could I would get rid of the guy's head that is in between Muhammed Ali's legs.
