Episode 3 - Amateur Kickboxer to Professional Boxer (Dean Sutherland)

In this episode I’m joined by, in my opinion, the best Martial Arts photographer in the world, Mr Stace Sanchez. Stace is the founder and owner of Kickpics, a sports photography company from Michigan, USA who specialises in shooting Martial Artists from all backgrounds of life and levels of experience when it comes to training but with a particular passion and appreciation for the kicking styles – hence the name Kickpics. Stace has over 123k followers on Instagram and an even wider reach when you take in to account his other online platforms including his website, facebook and linked in. Stace is incredibly successful in his own right and it goes without saying that he is definitely one of the pioneers in this niche field. However, he is also incredibly humble, easy to talk to and clearly immensely passionate about his craft.
