Had the opportunity to shoot one of The Fight Club’s new ring girls Rebecca over at Legends Training Centre earlier in the week. Rebecca was an absolute pleasure to work with, she was very comfortable and natural and hit the right poses without much prompting. Looking forward to future shoots with Rebecca for sure!

Since entering the world of sports photography, and more importantly the combat sports scene in Edmonton, Alberta; pixelens photography has learned very quickly that that there is a much larger community at play than just the promotion or specific fight card itself. Edmonton definitely has one of the largest fight scenes in Canada and every day it seems like new fighters are entering the ring. Not only do these new – and current – fighters rely on the local gyms and other fighters to train with, they are constantly seeking out new sponsorship in order to assist them in their quest to be able to train harder, stronger, faster and more often.
