Have been lucky to have combined my two passions of karate and photography over the years shooting studio style profiles of various karate-ka. Getting the technical side of lighting, composition and exposure comes second nature with experience. It is important to respect the subjects who are top exponents of their art, I direct the shoot to bring energy to the images, with advice to refine posture, kime and precision that produces dynamic images. Would usually discuss a wish list of shots and suggest other ideas which could work well. This recent shoot with Stuart Amos was a good example of collaboration of ideas, he certainly put 100% into his photo-shoot performance with exceptional techniques.
