As the director of an MMA championship documentary in Thailand, I had the opportunity to capture some of the most exciting moments of the event. My images and stories were featured in numerous publications, including the popular Indian magazine, Youth Incorporated. In the magazine, my work showcased MMA fighter Anthony Cordero and was featured in an article about managing sports stars.

Youth Incorporated is the leading youth magazine in India and is owned by Splash Publication Pvt. Ltd. The publication is committed to helping today’s students make career-defining choices and empowering them to become fearless leaders of tomorrow. With a young team of publishers, Youth Incorporated is a trusted source for the latest news and advice on education, careers, and personal development.

My work in this publication highlights the growing popularity of MMA in the world of sports and the dedication and hard work required to become a successful athlete. Through my photography and storytelling, I hope to inspire and motivate young people to pursue their passions and achieve their dreams.

In May 2012, Colombia’s former Minister of Interior and Justice, Fernando Londoño, was targeted in an attack in downtown Bogotá. As a photojournalist on the scene at the time of the blast, I captured the aftermath of the attack and my photographs and story were later reported in the Counter Terrorist magazine, which is published and distributed internationally. The magazine, published by Security Solutions International LLC, aims to deepen understanding of issues related to terrorism and is a service to the nation’s first responders and homeland security professionals. The May 2012 issue of the publication showcased my material and included an article by correspondent Glenn McGovern on the attack on Londoño, which was one of the major articles in the issue. The blast killed Londoño’s driver and bodyguard, and around 40 people were reported to have been injured. The police blamed Colombia’s largest rebel group, the Farc, for the attack, which came just hours after police defused a car bomb near the headquarters of the city’s police. Londoño, who has been highly critical of the rebels, was hit by shrapnel and had to undergo surgery to remove a piece of metal lodged near his clavicle. Despite the severity of the attack, Londoño survived and my photographs and story helped to shed light on the tragic event.

Muay First Fight is a gripping and intense documentary that follows the journey of Muay Thai fighters as they enter their first professional fight. The documentary was produced by Stony Studio for the Yamasaki Academy and directed by Stony Studio’s own Ronan Ó Conghaile, with myself serving as the technical director and cinematographer.

Filmed over a period of 30 days in Washington DC and Maryland, Muay First Fight provides an in-depth look into the world of Muay Thai and the dedication, hard work, and sacrifice that it takes to compete at the professional level. To capture the essence of this world, I utilized an array of professional lenses and equipment, including the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 ISL USM, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM, Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM, and EF 135mm f/2L USM Lenses, along with the DeSisti Super Leonardo Lighting system.

As the technical director, I oversaw the post-production process using software such as Avid® Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Adobe After Effects CC, and Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve. With a total of 15 hours of full-frame (35mm) footage at 1080p (1920 × 1080 progressive scan), I was able to craft a seamless and engaging documentary that truly captures the spirit of Muay Thai.

Overall, Muay First Fight is a stunning documentary that showcases the beauty, athleticism, and dedication of Muay Thai fighters. It was an honor to serve as the technical director and cinematographer for this project, and I am proud of the final product that we were able to create at Stony Studio.
