One thing I enjoy about working with the @captial_muay_thai team is getting to photograph⁣⁣⁣
athletes from different backgrounds, who show up every single day and literally leave their hearts on the mat. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
They have a goal, a mission, a purpose for training this way. You can see it in their eyes, it’s not a game, it’s a true dedication to a skill. If you know me, as a person and as a photographer, you know I frequently talk about the importance of the eyes and how much they tell you. When I shoot, it’s what I like to try to focus on as much as possible. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Follow @captial_muay_thai they make winners 🥊⁣⁣⁣

I took this shot using available ambient lighting behind the Walgreens building in Herndon, VA. If you’re out on location with no strobes or any type of off camera flash available, use the lighting you have available to get the shot you want. ⁣⁣⁣

Reflection

re·flec·tion
/rəˈflekSH(ə)n/

Serious thought or consideration.

“Sky’s The Limit” is tattooed on his chest. You can have what you want, and be what you want in life.
The lyrics for this song say that and also to keep on pressing on. In life we face hard times and situations that will discourage us from living our dreams. Don’t listen to whoever or whatever feeds you negative energy. If you have a dream, get after it and get after it right now.

@bobbybandz stepped in front my camera.
