Recently I have been fortunate enough to have shot a lot more martial arts portraits and I thought it would be nice to do a little round up of the amazing martial artists that I have had the pleasure to working with.<\/p>

During the month of April I travelled around the UK, as far north as\u00a0Harrogate & East Midlands, and South as far as South Devon, Sussex & London. At each location I was both training martial arts (Taiji & Eskrima) and photographing martial arts.<\/p>

April consisted of personal shoots (seen below) and photos for an upcoming Taiji book by my teacher, Nigel Sutton<\/a>\u00a0which I'll be able to share at a later date. This post today will concentrate on the personal photoshoots during the trip in April and a martial arts photoshoot for Shotokan Instructor\u00a0Ash Hawkes<\/a>\u00a0in our local Kingsbridge, Devon.<\/p><\/div>
