A good friend of mine, Martin Pinto from Fermont, Quebec (up up up in the North) at 42, fight for the first time in an amateur KickBoxing Gala.

He asked me to be the photograph, never did that kind of shooting but this is too exciting, I'll do it.

Here are few shots taken Saturday past, in Drummondville, Québec.

Rest of the story is on my blog.

    Very nice series. I really like 1, 3, and 6. You can see the focus in his eyes in 3 and the last photo tell the entire story of the match. Very well done!

    I like them all except 4. Great timing but I don't think Wide works as well for this shot. Outside of the fighters I don't think the rest of the elements in the shot add anything - I would have preferred a tighter shot highlighting the action. Overall a very good series - and congrats to your friend on his great accomplishment clap.gif
