If you're not bugged out by a little bit of blood, you'll love 'Blood, Sweat & Fears' by Andrew Smith. This shoot follows a shadowy fighter soaked in the red stuff, and although the imagery is quite gruesome, it's beautiful nonetheless.
I especially love the composite image that kicks off the gallery above, as it shows a fighter both in attack and in ready mode. See the full array of shots in 'Blood, Sweat & Fears' by Andrew Smith above.
