Douglas Lima

Posted on February 16, 2013 Leave a Comment

Douglas Lima is a rising star in the MMA community and is quickly making a name for himself as a fierce knockout artist. After winning the Bellator Welterweight Tournament in 2012 he lost a decision in the Championship bout against Ben Askren. Not to be deterred, he entered the 2013 Tournament and is now in the finals, and hopefully with the win will have the chance for a rematch. Douglas is also one of the 1st fighters I ever shot a portrait of, so I was glad to get him to the studio, so we … [Read more...]

Stephen Upchurch

Posted on February 11, 2013 Leave a Comment

Stephen Upchurch is the first fighter I ever got to know, and is the main reason I got into fight photography back in 2009. He was my kickboxing instructor at KnuckleUp Fitness and also was training as a Muay Thai fighter. As he was preparing for his 2nd amateur Mauy Thai match I asked if I could tag along, to tell his story. He agreed, and the rest is history, as I discovered my new passion. Stephen is currently in training for his debut in the Bellator Fighting Tournament and is in great shape … [Read more...]

THE WEEK IN STREET PHOTOGRAPHY – January 29 – February 4, 2013

Posted on February 5, 2013 Leave a Comment

My street photography work came about as a result of successfully completing a 365 project in 2012 (where I take at least 1 photo a day for the entire year). What started out as a challenge to shoot one image daily has evolved into a steady output of images as I roam the streets of Atlanta. The following are my favorites from the past week. … [Read more...]

Wild Bills Fight Night 52

Posted on January 28, 2013 Leave a Comment

The first Wild Bills Fight Night of 2013 was yet another great night of fights with only 1 out the 12 bouts making it to a decision, and many of them ending in the first round from submissions or knockouts. Also new for me in 2013 is trying out new shooting techniques and edit styles, with the goal of achieving a more "old film" look. The following photos are my favorites from the night. … [Read more...]

Ashling

Posted on December 12, 2012 Leave a Comment

Ashling O'Brien is a young musician in Atlanta, who specializes in Irish music, classic rock and blues. She recently contacted me, stating that she was interested in a portrait session, and that she had some specific ideas in mind. I always love when a subject wants to contribute to a shoot and so I invited her out to my studio for a meet. We decided that before doing anything elaborate (and thus more complex) we would keep our first session together simple, mainly limited to head shots, to … [Read more...]
