Medium shot of a Caucasian man and an Asian woman standing in front of a textured, light gray brick wall. The man, on the left side of the frame, has light brown hair and a beard, wearing a white t-shirt. The woman, on the right, has long dark hair and is wearing a dark colored pattern top. They both hold a framed promotional poster for "AFC 18 Mayhem." The poster displays images of mixed martial arts fighters and text details about the event. The image has a slightly desaturated, vintage feel. Composition is balanced, with subjects centered in the frame.

We had a fantastic time at the LI Roller Rebels game on Saturday! It’s always a fun time, and I always love taking shots of the jammers zooming around the court as they soldier forward towards the next wall! #rollerderby #rollerskates #sports #sportsphotography #contactsports #sonycamera #sonya7rv #sony2470gmii #adobelightroom
