Sports

Photosbykag photographs all kinds of sports. Soccer, martial arts and surfing are a few favorites. I've photographed athletes from Silicon Beach LA Surfing Crew and the L.A. Galaxy.

Surfing, El Porto.
What is amazing about this shot is that it was photographed from over 100 yards away with the new Tamron 150-600 G2. 1/640 sec, at f/6.3, 552 mm, ISO 1000. This was not too long after sunrise and the sun was VERY bright on the water, I used a polarizer to take some of the glare off the water. Photographed in raw, minor adjustments in Lightroom.

I frequently photograph MMA fighters, boxers, and those who train like them. If you need a promotional image, please send an email to me: kag@photosbykag.com
Photo shoot for the ladies of "Fierce Lotus."
Lisa Newman (l) and Heidi Moneymaker (r) are fitness guru's. Heidi is also a very well known Hollywood stunt woman. I met them at an MMA gym where I train and was hired to photograph them in the gym and at the beach for their upcoming book on fitness and lifestyle. Not only are they incredibly fit, but they are two of the nicest people I have ever worked with. I wish them much success in the future endeavors. You can find out more about them on Facebook under Fierce Lotus or at www.fierce lotus.com
Some photography jobs are harder than others.
I really enjoyed collaborating with the the ladies of "Fierce Lotus" on their beach and fitness images for the upcoming book. Thank you, Lisa and Heidi.
Competitors came from all over the world to compete in the Special Olympics World Games in Los Angeles in 2015. I photographed the Judo competition which was held at UCLA. Trust me when I say there were some tough competitors!
Kevin Gilligan Photographed Judo in the Special Olympics World Games. It was an amazing experience. I hope that Los Angeles wins the 2024 Olympic Bid, I'd love to photograph those games as well.

Robbie Keane of Los Angeles Galaxy celebrates after scoring.
Ok, I admit it. I am a really big fan of Robbie Keane of the Los Angeles Galaxy. He's a great player, he's Irish, and he's a gentleman. What more could you want? He's also tough, coming back from multiple injuries and still playing well.
1/500 of a second freeze frame captures the fantastic athleticism of this female surfer on a wave in Manhattan Beach, Calfornia. If you know the surfer please email me so I can give her a copy.
