MARTIAL ARTS PORTRAITS AND FEATURE

Although Mike Alsford will be happy to shoot any sports related pictures, he continues to take a special look at the martial arts, devoting a gallery to this increasingly popular activity.

The various martial arts offer a vast potential in photogenic subject matter, both in action and static photography. If you add to this the sport's natural association with entertainment, in both display performances and film making contributions, surely a very strong portraiture subject emerges!

With thanks to the Paul Drury Blackbelt Academy, for its help in illustrating this catagory.
Thanks also to David McGoldrick and Sophie Tommy.
