Help me find a photo of someone getting punched in the face

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I need a reference photo for an illustration project I’m working on. I need a closeup of a man being punched in the face, preferably a shot from the front. The hand/fist/glove can be partially obscuring the face but I do need to see at least most of the face. Oh, and the face needs to be either a white guy or someone with caucasian enough features for me to use it as a reference for illustrating a white guy.

I’ve been Googling but I haven’t come across the sort of picture I really have in mind… I was hoping some of you might know of something specific they could point me toward, or at least have better Google-Fu for this particular search. I just don’t usually get into that sort of thing so I am having trouble.

Thanks in advance!

Here’s one. It’s the cover of an album by a group that Steve Jones and Paul Cook formed after the breakup of the Sex Pistols.

How’s this?

I’ll keep looking. I just googled “bar fight”.

Here’s another.

This one isn’t black and white - it’s color.

You can also try iStockphoto.com. They have all sorts of stock photos at extremely good prices. Like a 3" x 5" web resolution pic will only cost you $1. They offer various resolutions and licences (there is a price jump if you’re printing more than 10,000 or something.)

This is exactly the sort of thing I am looking for. It has to be a closeup of the face, showing the impact of getting hit and the resultant distortions of the face.

I really need the detail of the face at the moment of impact. That’s what the illustration is–total up close of a face getting slugged.

Check out Despair, Inc.'s poster, “Not all pain is gain.”

Here’s another album cover from Pantera’s Vulgar Display of Power:

I knew someone would beat me to that one. No pun intended.

Here’s a rugby player getting hit.

This poor guy looks like he could use an ice pack. (Think he’s Asian, though, so I don’t know if it would work for you)

Oh that’s excellent… the larger version doesn’t work for me though…?

13

Well just google vulgar display of power and there should be plenty of large ones.

14

That’d be “Agony”. A good image, but the one I want for my wall is “Cluelessness”.

15

Yep, that’s the one I thought of immediately. Of course I’ve spent too much time on that site since I pictured light bulbs as soon as I saw Max mention “cluelessness”.

Right now I have “Change” up on my door, since we are implementing a huge project affecting many users. “When the winds of change blow hard enough, the most trivial of things can turn into deadly projectiles.”
