Sparring at Warriors

I decided to take my new lens for a spin yesterday. Sigma 105mm F1.4 Art lens. What a great lens, sharp at F1.4. The only drawback is the 3.6 pound weight, but I have a monopod for that.Once the monopod was attached it was easy to work with. Always fun shooting at the home gym (Warriors Boxing)

London Open BJJ Tournament

I got to cover the London Open Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament last weekend. It was an extremely well run tournament and finished over an hour ahead of schedule. I was asked to capture the tournament and not just the fights, which is a little challenging for me as I’m usually hyper-focused on the fights. Below are the images I got for the day. I’m looking forward to covering their super fight series in November.

Two kids having a lot of fun competing.

Boxing Show at Warriors Boxing and Fitness

Saturday night we had another amateur boxing show at Warriors Boxing and Fitness, sanctioned by Boxing Ontario. 12 good bouts including my 600 fight photographed. It was a good night. Main event fighter Leo Kamara won his fight against a skilled opponent. I was feel nostalgic and the lighting wasn’t great so I decided to go with a black and white treatment of the event.

Branding Photos with London Muay Thai

I photographed some branding images for London Muay Thai. I didn’t have to go far as they are located in the same space as my studio. We did photos for their social media. I photographed an all level class and then we played around with some non-standard moves. Always a good time with Kru Benny. Below are some samples of the images we made.

If you’d like me to come to your gym and shoot pictures of a class, practice or sparring contact me to arrange it.

Fight Poster Design for PFC

I’m working my eleventh show with Jamie Champion’s Prospect Fighting Championships. In addition to shooting the fights I’m photographing the promo pictures. I also did the poster designs for this event. Great to work with the PFC team again.

Main Event

Not every fighter appearing on the posters will have a fight, we over shoot as injuries leading up to the fight often happen.

Announcing the event.
