Behind the Scenes Martial Arts Shoot

We shot a slew of awesome kids at the East West Mixed Martial Arts school in Mesa yesterday. I was impressed not only with how well the instructors related to the kids, but with how much they stressed the importance of respecting and helping one another as they learned. If any of you parents out there are looking for a positive environment for your kids, you might want to give East West MMA a call. Greg Silva is the owner and the head instructor's name is Kelly; tell them DM Photo sent you!

We've recently been discussing how it might be interesting for folks to get a behind the scenes look at some of our shoots, just to understand how we work with lights and such. So, we snapped a few shots of our lighting setup and the overall layout. Enjoy:
