I’ve been Marcelo Garcia’s photographer for the past 4 years.  Pictured above is Bernardo Faria, one of several world champions who teaches and trains at the Marcelo Garcia Academy.  Shooting is tricky because I like to see the emotion on the face, but often that isn’t possible. It’s not like I’m posing anybody…  I also try to capture clean submissions or control positions  It takes quite a bit of bending and crouching to get a nice low angle.  Sometimes I’m not sure which is more difficult, grappling or shooting people who are grappling…
