Badass Action

I’m fascinated by the hard work, character, discipline, and sacrifice of athletes. Watching them give their 100% to become the best at their sports has fuelled my own desire to become the best photographer I can be. It feels like the right way to honor their efforts.

For the past five years, I’ve been working on the field and in gyms, perfecting my craft and looking for a way to showcase all the intensity, adversity, pride, and achievement I witness behind the camera. Based on this experience, I’ve come up with 12 Templates, each curated to create maximum impact.

These sports grit looks are not only meant to look good but to make you feel and taste the action! Each Template can be used as is or as a starting point to achieve your own BADASS version.

You will find 12 Templates in this pack:
