Sports photography – Royal Arts Fencing Academy

Not too long ago, I was contacted by Tim Mills from the Royal Arts Fencing Academy in Columbus, Ohio. They are planning the world’s largest fencing event and wanted to know if I would like to be a part of the action. My little brother is a fencer, so I jumped at the opportunity. I just finished editing some photographs and have a little to share.

Tim and company will be running the fencing competition as part of the Arnold Sports Classic in March. Today, I got a chance to meet Tim and the team at the academy for a little practice. Both their practice and my own. Getting great shots of fencing is very difficult. Funny enough, it is like photographing a wedding. You are in a dark room, cannot use a flash, and you have people dressed all in white.

Needless to say, I am really looking forward to the action in March. It is a great chance to grab some great action shots, portraits, and maybe even a photo or two of Arnold. Yes, the Govenator will be there.

See y'all soon,
Hunter
