Bret Freeman is one of MMA's premier Ring Announcers.
Originating from sunny California, he has made his home in Buckinghamshire.
Also known as 'Hollywood' for his American style and glamour that he brings to the many shows that he comperes in England and abroad, he is also a regular face on Sky Sports and other channels.
You can read more about him on his site at http://www.bretfreeman.com/
I recently photographed him in a small area using 3 lights in the first set up then just 2 for the rest of the images, sometimes using coloured gels for some 'Hollywood' effect.
I did a mixture of headshots with many posed shots of Bret holding his trademark microphone and showing off his trademark skull and crossbones jewellery.
We utilised the punchbag that Bret has in the shots to get a visual link to the fighting that he announces for.
From set up to breakdown was at least a couple of hours and Bret kept up his showmanship throughout, happy to change some of his attire as we went along to get some different images from the shoot.
