Steven Wilcox - WBA-NABA Super Lightweight Title Fight

Three Lions Promotions put on another great pro boxing event in Hamilton, Ontario. Steven "The Piranha" Wilcox defended his WBA-NABA Super Lightweight belt. Despite having to fight the last 4 rounds with only one hand, Steven was never in any trouble during the fight and dropped his opponent twice in the 6th round. A great night of fights overall.

Fitness and Boxing Photo Shoot with Sam

Agency represented (Swagger Management) model Sam came down from Toronto to work with me a couple of weeks ago. We split the day between Powerhouse Training Systems and Warriors Boxing and Fitness.  I've worked with Sam a couple of times before in Toronto and he always brings a great enthusiasm to the shoot as well as a killer physique and work ethic.

I have access to cool locations like these for photoshoots as well as my fully equipped studio. So if you need images done for sponsors, agencies, promotions or just you, message me and we'll set it up.

We went for a bit of a cinematic feel for this image.

The Shaw Boxing event is a fund raising event held every year to benefit the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake. This year on April the 4th is a great night of fights. I've personally know 5 of the 6 boxers on the card and have previously photographed 4 of them.

The Shaw Boxing event is a fund raising event held every year to benefit the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake. This year on April the 4th is a great night of fights. I've personally know 5 of the 6 boxers on the card and have previously photographed 4 of them.

There are some real good fights on this card, especially the main event. I photographed both of those fighters multiple times. I'm hoping Higson / Young becomes a by-word for great Canadian boxing. I'm covering the event for Below the Belt Magazine.

Sparring at Warriors

I went down to Warriors' Boxing and Fitness today to shoot some promo pictures for their upcoming show. While there, some good and lively sparring was taking place...so I had to take pictures. It was a great morning of boxing, like my assistant said, it was a little like church in there today.

Boxing in the GTA

United Promotions Boxing put on another show at the Hershey Centre Saturday night. I got to see lots of friends there including two of them facing off in the ring and fighting to a draw. It was a good night of fights which saw Ryan Young capture the Canadian Super Welterweight Championship. Photographing ringside is really great and is the best "seat" in the house. I tried a couple of different lenses and settings on Saturday and really enjoyed the results.

This was my first boxing show ever for photography. I was welcomed be a lot of great people and it was interesting to go back through and see how many of the people from this event I've got to know. I enjoy the amateur boxing and I hope to keep shooting it for fun, even though the light is always challenging.

Here are a few of my favourites from that day.

Photographing Fight #300 at MCC3

A picture from the first fight I ever shot. PFC #2 - March 2014.

This weekend at Maple City Cagefighting #3 I will shoot my 300th fight since March of 2014. It has been a great couple of years and I have met tonnes of awesome people. I'd like to thank Jamie Champion for giving me a shot even though I had no experience.I love to shoot fights, fighters and promotional material for fights. I'd like to think I've become more skilled at fight pictures and hopefully I'll continue to grow. Looking forward to #300, then onto #500 and a world title fight.
