Training isn’t always easy. There are times when: - Motivation drops - The body feels it more than it used to - Progress feels slow or even stuck - Or life just gets in the way And yet… we keep coming back. 👉 What has been your biggest challenge in training recently? It could be: - Physical - Mental - Time and consistency - Confidence - Injury or recovery Or something you haven’t really put into words before. This is a space where we can be honest about the reality of training, not just the highlights. You might find someone else is dealing with exactly the same thing.

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.
