This set of MMA fighter portraits by Brazilian born (but now based in Barcelona, Spain) photographer João Novaes is just fantastic. I take a lot of pictures at MMA events and have always wanted to do before and after portraits, but the gaps between the fights is never long enough.
These portraits don’t only appeal to me because of the MMA connection, they are just very good portraits in their own right. Nice lighting, perfect amount of sharpness along with a nice depth of field, they just work really well.
