Martial Arts Photography

Rachel Raphael




photographing martial artists outside the academy on a rooftop. The sky adding atmosphere to the image.


Image indoors, natural lighting used to light the room, flash light on the subject. I quite like this lighting technique and her choice of shutter speed.


Same lighting in this image. I like the shadowing on the right side of the face.


This jumping kick image has been well composed. the mirrors make a good background, I like the graduation of light to dark.


Great detail in the eyes in this close up image. 









Clifton Li


In this collaborated piece of work between clifton li and Team 2X martial artists have been photographed at incredibly high shutter speeds and very powerful lights. Using up to 3200w/s and able to shoot at 1/8000 they were able to capture incredible action shots.
