Ryley Batt is an Australian wheelchair Rugby star from Port Macquarie.

He was the youngest member ever to play for the Australian Steelers wheelchair rugby team at just 15 years old in 2003.

From 2006 to 2010, for five years in a row, he was voted as the team's most valuable player.

Ryley is a true inspiration and today I was lucky enough to have a portrait session with the man himself for a documentary that ABC are currently filming.

Hey guys,

I did my first real car photo shoot this afternoon with a mate who is quite into cars. I'm not, but I wanted to give it a go.

It was a good challenge for me but I'm really happy with the results. Here's jst one of many shots of the day.

A set up diagram for the lighting can be viewed here: img194.imageshack.us/img194/8894/setupht.jpg

Thanks,
Matt

Here's an older shot of mine from back in April of this year that was taken at an "Ironkids" event.

This is a shot of one of the competitors, no older than 13, who went on to win I believe.

Thanks very much for looking,
- Matt
