NOTE...I have been experimenting with colour in PS!

UFC fighter Dan Hardy challenges George St Pierre for the Welterweight title in New Jersey at UFC111, Saturday March 27th, 2010. He will be the first British fighter to challenge for a title in the history of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. 
The above images are from Hardy's training camp in Nottingham, England, for his fight against Mike Swick at UFC 105. That win gave him the chance to take on GSP at UFC111.
I will be travelling to New Jersey and New York to photograph Hardy's preparations for the biggest fight in UK MMA history.

My girlfriend is a cagefighter!

Feature in Nuts magazine of female MMA fighter Michelle Tyler. Michelle was shot at London Shoot Fighters gym. 
Wasn't the most straight forward of shoots as Simon, the boyfriend, failed to turn up. This shot was done before we dragged a guy in from the gym to stand-in as Michelle's boyfriend. Spent 5 minutes shooting just her and an hour shooting the two of them together thinking the Art Director would want two people in the frame. This image was by no means the strongest but it was felt that we could not use the stand-in.
