Fishnets and feistiness.

I like to head to jobs with a bit of foresight and planning if possible. It makes it easier to hit the ground running if you have an idea about composition, possible lighting set-up - heck, having an idea about the final outcome helps.
But sometimes, when I head to a job - it's all about flexibility. Thinking on your feet. Adapting to the situation to achieve the final objective. Or, as another PJ I used to work with used to admit, it's about keeping a deadpan expression in front of the subject while buggerbuggerbuggerbuggerbuggerbuggerbugger ricochets around the inside of your head.
Recently I was tasked to photograph a number of roller derby, um, gladiators? Warriors? Contestants? And it was like taking the pieces of a jigsaw out of the box, throwing up into the air, and having the finished solution land on the table in front of you. Framed.
So - below are some of the photos...
