Fitness Shoot with Mary Valid

Mary is going to the 2016 IFBB International Events Qualifier through the CBBF. Best of luck to Mary, who is an awesome person and fierce competitor. I can wait to hear that she's punched her pro card. She came down from Toronto to shoot with me at Old East Village Fitness and we got some great images. I can't wait to work with her again soon. In addition to her big muscles being huge and defined, it was her small connecting muscles which really stood out for me. She's going to bring a really great package this weekend in Moncton, best of luck.

Amatuer MMA Images from Maple City Cagefighting

It was a good night of fights in Chatham with Maple City Cagefighting on Saturday. There were some really fast knock outs in the first round including Tony Laramie's 0:17 destruction of his opponent. It was great seeing a lot of familiar people and Thomas Armstrong is always calm in a sea of chaos that is fight night. I'm looking forward to their next event of Nov 5th. Get you tickets!

Photographing Fight #300 at MCC3

A picture from the first fight I ever shot. PFC #2 - March 2014.

This weekend at Maple City Cagefighting #3 I will shoot my 300th fight since March of 2014. It has been a great couple of years and I have met tonnes of awesome people. I'd like to thank Jamie Champion for giving me a shot even though I had no experience.I love to shoot fights, fighters and promotional material for fights. I'd like to think I've become more skilled at fight pictures and hopefully I'll continue to grow. Looking forward to #300, then onto #500 and a world title fight.

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.
