UFC 120 - o2 Arena, London - Oct 2010
No shoot news here. Just a blindingly obvious and top assistants tip. On Saturday evening I went to watch UFC 120 when the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) made it’s annual trip to the UK. A great night of fights from what has been coined as the fastest growing sports organisation in the world. I’m a Muay Thai Kickboxer, Karate Blackbelt and all round MMA enthusiast myself and...

Pleasantly early for our 8am call...

We had a 6am start and we’d travelled 400 miles for this shoot off the back of a lively shoot with ‘Crazy’ Spice Girl Mel B the day before. Using profoto kit we had...
Untitled

I have always built ‘safety’ time into my journey to allow for train delays, strikes, cancellations, getting lost, etc. This can be irritating when you turn up to shoots 30 minutes early on a regular basis and you could...
