Heart and Pride Muay Thai is one of the few traditional Muay Thai gyms in the Inland Empire that sticks to the old traditional way. I’ve trained here on and off for the past few years and the staff is super professional and always willing to teach the basic fundamentals. Don’t get me wrong, they will also push you to the limits and I absolutely love that.

Fanny was my subject today and she’s also one of the coaches at Heart and Pride. I wanted to show her dramatic side by using off camera flash and colored gels. Some of my favorites photos of the day was using a red gel to light the background. Another great tip is to have the person show movement. The other pose I absolutely love is the lead straight knee.

Thank you again Fanny and Kru Mickey for allowing me to capture these awesome portraits!
