I was recently commissioned to photograph portraits of Matt Williams who runs the Kung Fu school I now attend. He was after a friendly face to conteract peoples preconceptions of Kung Fu being all about hitting and kicking and aimed to use the portraits as part of a campaign to get people through the door to experience all the mental and physical development side of Kung Fu that aids fitness, relaxation and general well being as well as being a useful form of self defence.
He did not however want to appear too soft either. We ended up shooting a series of straight kung fu greeting poses and some more elaborate styled images with the swords.
