Southpaw
Shoots

By svanna andrada photography

I shoot combat sports the way fighters live them — with intensity, honesty, and grit. Every moment from first bell to final hand raise, documented the way it deserves to be seen.

By day I'm a wedding and elopement photographer running Svanna Andrada Photography. Which means my entire career is built around one thing: telling stories that matter. The quiet moments, the raw emotion, the split seconds that define an entire day.

Combat sports pulled me in for the same reason.

I've been a fighter. I know what it costs to step into that ring... the months of training, the nerves before the bell, the weight of everything you've worked for coming down to a few rounds under the lights. That's why I shoot it differently.

Fight nights are full of stories. The walkout. The focus. The exchange that turns a fight. The moment someone's hand gets raised (or doesn't). My goal is to capture all of it: bold, cinematic, and true to the energy of the sport.

This is why SouthPaw Shoots was created

Frequently asked questions

1. What is a combat sports photographer?

A combat sports photographer specializes in capturing the action, emotion, and story of fight sports like Muay Thai, kickboxing, boxing, and MMA. At Southpaw Shoots, that means cinematic, high-impact images that document every moment of your fight night — from the walkout to the final bell.

2. Do you photograph fight nights in the Pacific Northwest?

Yes. Southpaw Shoots is based in Snohomish, Washington and covers fight nights, promotions, and combat sports events across the Pacific Northwest including Seattle, Snohomish County, and beyond. Regional and out-of-state travel is available for select events.

3. What combat sports do you cover?

Muay Thai, kickboxing, boxing, MMA, and grappling. If it happens in a ring, cage, or on a mat, we shoot it.

4. How is Southpaw Shoots different from other sports photographers?

Southpaw Shoots is run by a fighter and photographer who knows combat sports from the inside. That means understanding the rhythm of a fight, anticipating the moments before they happen, and moving through a fight space with purpose. The result is images that feel real and dynamic just like your fight nights are.

5. How do I book Southpaw Shoots for my fight night or event? 

Reach out through the contact form with your event details and date. A signed agreement and deposit secure your coverage. The earlier you reach out the better, especially for busy fight season weekends.

6. How soon will we receive photos after our event?

Most galleries are delivered within 3 days of your event. For events like weigh-ins, you can expect those delivered within 3 hours — right when the buzz and anticipation are at their peak.

7. How do I book Southpaw Shoots for my fight night or event? 

Yes, totally! Whether you're a fighter building your personal brand, a gym wanting to showcase your culture, or a promotion that needs full event coverage, Southpaw Shoots works with all of them.

8. Do you watermark the fight photos?

Fighter galleries are delivered with a subtle watermark to help credit find its way back to the source. Organizations and promotions receive clean, unwatermarked images. We trust you to tag and credit Southpaw Shoots when sharing. Promotions that don't provide proper credit will receive watermarked images on future collaborations. Simple as that.

Fights get ugly. Your photos don't have too.
