This project focuses on three young female fighters from different combat sports, at different stages of their careers, all with the same goal, to be successful, professional fighters. The main element of the project was a short photographic film which used a combination of around 70 of my still images, audio interviews, archive photos, and sound recordings to tell each fighter’s story.

The women detail the dedication required to reach their dreams, and the sacrifices, commitments, and obstacles they have had to overcome, as they try and make their way in a male dominated arena.
