MMA-Lisa

Lisa is a dichotomy, in the ring she's an animal, I don't mind admitting it, she scares me! Outside of the ring she an ordinary 17 year old girl with a winning smile and giggly laugh.

Last night I got the chance to shoot at the MMA Cage Fighting Tournament hosted in Colchester.

It was my first time at MMA and I really didn't know what to expect. I spent most of my time shooting the fighters outside of the ring. This image captures the mixed emotion that fighters experience right before the bout.

He (I need to get his name) won in the first round as I recall.

Another from my shoot with Morgana, I think it would prove challenging to shoot a bad image of her. I have a couple of her smiling (she's a very serious model) which I expect to fetch a tidy sum at auction one day :-)

Model: Morgana - threnodyinvelvet.com/
Make-up: Morgana

Strobist: We shot this using a 22" Beauty dish, a 1m square soft-box (fill) and a snooted CTO'd flash for a hair-light.

Morgana on Fire - Happy Valentines day (Explored)

Morgana on Fire - Happy Valentines day (Explored)

So my original Valentines image idea turned into a car crash, the snow stranded my model, the butcher forgot to order the pigs heart and, before I know it, it was the 13th of Feb. On the bright side I now have 364 days to re-shoot for next year :-)

Morgana came to the rescue yesterday and we created some great images together. She is a local Colchester photographer and model, with her own (excellent) studio taking over most of her house and a portfolio of images to die for.

The smoke was shot separately against a black background and composited. The fire in the hair comes from bits of cotton wool, lite and shot very quickly against black.
