The Work
Documentary work shot across Colorado Springs — combat sports, the people who train, and the city they train in. No poses. No studio lights. Real moments.
About
SideControl Media Lab is a Colorado Springs–based documentary photography operation. We shoot what we know — combat sports, firearms, and the city — from the inside, not the sideline.
Behind the camera: a US Army veteran turned coach and photographer — jiu jitsu, boxing, personal training, and football — who lives and trains in Olympic City USA.
The work isn't manufactured. Every frame is built around the authentic moment — the roll, the draw, the room, the people — not a pose. If it's happening in Colorado Springs, we want to shoot it.
Services
Training sessions, seminars, and gym culture documented from the inside. Built for gyms that want to show prospective members what real training looks like — not a stock photo from a website template.
Pistol classes, range events, and firearms instruction documented by someone who understands the culture and the safety requirements. Clean, professional images for instructors, clubs, and ranges.
Monthly content for gyms and training facilities that need a consistent pipeline of real photos for social media, websites, and marketing. Shot fresh every month, delivered on schedule.
