Hammerlock Pure Wrestling

I’ve been shooting for Hammerlock Pure Wrestling since 2021. I’ve done a bunch of shows and promo work for them. Here’s a few samples from last week’s show in St. Thomas, ON. We have 3 shows left in 2022 and then a huge amount in 2023 coming up.

- Mark Ruddick Photography - My images are an exploration of the human body under muscle stress — understanding the body’s strength, flexibility, and power. Creating these images has given me a better understanding of the human form which has transitioned into my commercial fitness work.

I love to tell stories as anyone who's worked with me can attest. That includes visual stories through photographs. Let me tell your story and provide high impact images of you to sponsors, agencies, family or just for yourself.

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.
