How a shot is made

  1. 01

    Read the fight.

    Watch the rhythm. Know where the strike is going before it lands.

  2. 02

    Lock focus.

    Eyes on the fighter. Everything else falls away.

  3. 03

    Fire.

    A thousandth of a second. There is no second take.

  4. 04

    Develop.

    Colour and contrast graded until it feels like the night did.

  5. 05

    Deliver.

    The moment, kept for good.

I don't just capture sport. I capture the story.

I'm Martin La, a sports photographer and filmmaker working between Bangkok and Sydney.

My work focuses on the moments that make sport unforgettable.

  • The preparation.
  • The pressure.
  • The sacrifice.
  • The victory.

And everything the audience doesn't see. From ringside action to the stories behind the athletes, I make photographs and films that make people feel something.
