Part of being a content creator is finding styles that are unique, but are also complimentary to what you are doing out in the field. This comes about by doing plenty of research, experimentation and being inspired by other creatives. From this exploration, I have discovered how the I can merge art and sport in the result of abstract sports photography and it is a style that has been received well.

I have recently been inspired by one creative on Instagram - Thomas Fotomas. I hadn’t seen any work like his before and wondered if I could apply and adapt this style to that of the World of sport, fitness and portraiture. After a while of playing around with different editing techniques, I finally stumbled on a way of being able to get a similar effect, but notably in my own style. My wrists won’t thank me later in life, as the technique requires quite a lot of steady selections and clicking in Photoshop. However, I was wow’d with the outcome, posted a first image on Instagram, and the reception was fantastic.

Here are a selection of photos I have produced so far whilst experimenting with this style, starting with the first.

If you would like to get in touch about how I do this technique, feel free to get in touch.
