Kevin Higson vs. Junmar Emon

I've shot both of these guys before and I knew it was going to be a fast-paced, high action fight. Junmar always gives me great fights to shoot. Some fighters are easier to photograph than others. It was a great back and forth 10 rounds. Thanks to United Boxing for having me out.

Destiny Fights

Saturday I traveled to Toronto to shoot Destiny Fight Productions' Muay Thai show. Muay Thai fighters are as tough as they come, always in great shape and never back down. As always Destiny put on a great show in front of a nearly packed house where the crowd cheered as loud for the knock outs as it did for a well executed wai khru (the traditional ceremonial movements of the fighter preceding the fight to pay respect to their teachers). I basically only had house lights to work with for this extremely fast moving sport so my shooting had to be done at F2.0, 1/500th of a second, ISO3200, which is far from ideal. I hope to shoot more Muay Thai in the future.

Detroit Brawl

On Saturday Feb 6th, I got to go over to Detroit to catch some boxing at the beautiful and historic Masonic Temple. The show was put on by Salita Promotions. It was a good action packed card with lots of local flavour. A really nice touch was the promoter, Dimitri Salita came over and spoke to everyone in the media section after the fights, a real class act. I love shooting fights in Detroit, it is a special, crazy atmosphere in the Motor City. Below are some of the good ones I captured.
