A little late on getting this weeks entry up. I had a mad Saturday and Sunday - UCMMA 31 on Saturday and Fight Scene 5 on Sunday. Minimal sleep and lots of work. Over the two events I shot around 2,500 images. UCMMA 31 was awesome as expected. Great fights and superb matching ensuring that the punters [...]
I'm lucky enough to be shooting UCMMA 31 again this weekend. Part of the deal is that I go to the press conference prior to the main event. Its a really fun part of the build up and good to see all of the guys facing off to each other. Its also a bit different photographically as [...]
My friend Danielle West of Team Underground MMA and New Wave Academy asked me if I would be able to take some more shots of her for a fight that she may be doing in Asia for her sponsors I'd had a day off on Thursday and suggested that it would be a good idea to fit her [...]
I was lucky enough to be asked to shoot John Hathaway and some of the other fighters London Fightshooters this week. This is the first time I have shot someone in the UFC and I have to say John was an absolute pleasure to work with.He's currently 17 -1 which is a pretty impressive record! [...]
This weekend it was Shock n Awe 12 in Portsmouth. My wonderful mate at UNCAGED sorted me out at fairly short notice, so it was touch and go as to whether I'd be able to make it. Luckily he cam through and I was on my way down south. Another production that I'd not been to before [...]
I was once again lucky enough to able to shoot some MMA, this time UCMMA 30 at London's Troxy. This was by far the biggest and best production I have been to and it was televised on SKY sports live. The fights were all fantastic, fighters totally up for it. After seeing this standard of fight it [...]
I'm lucky enough to be going to UCMMA 30 this evening. As a precursor to this I was asked to attend the press conference prior to the main event at Troxy. It was great to see the fighters in a more relaxed environment and to be part of the whole event. As I've said in [...]
I though that it might be a bit of fun to do some MMA composites after my two recent outings. I wanted to achieve something more akin to 'cool fighter portraits' in a bit of an advertorial vein. As the images from the 10th Legion MMA outing in Hull on September 15th were better than [...]
For the second week in a row I was lucky enough to be asked to shoot some MMA. This time in Hull - a four hour drive away at an event titled "10th Legion Championship - Army of Gods" . I had had a brief conversation with Paul Fitz at CAGEDmag on the Friday and [...]
This weekend I was invited to shoot Fury MMA at Proud O2 in London. Having not shot at or even attended an event like this before I was a little nervous and unsure of how to approach the shoot along with not knowing 'the score' for such a thing. After a bit of waiting around [...]
I was lucky enough to be asked to shoot some of the local MMA athletes recently. Its the first time that I have been able to practice a three light technique on people other than myself or close friends, so was somewhat apprehensive and excited about doing it especially given that they are all pretty [...]
