One of my friends is training for his first MMA fight and asked me to take some fight-themed portraits of him. What do you think?

I normally don't like portraits cooked like #1 and #3 but, these work exceptionally well... However, the placement of your logo in #3 tends to spoil a very good image.

I like the first with the cracked glass, but the heavy cooking and resulting halos is distracting to me.

The lighting of the 2nd with his hands up makes my eyes want to center on his chest.

The third looks to be a good shot, but try reducing the processing and posting the results.


My belief: More Photo, Less Photoshop.

There is something really off about his stance and posture that makes these look funny, like with #2. His body doesn't seem in in a proper stance through some of these.

Also, the gritting of the teeth seems off to me because fighters try to keep their calm durring their fights.

I like #3 the most though.
