ARTFUL AIKIDO: Slow shutter speed sword sequences

When Hans Menck of Freedom School of Martial Arts in Cape Town, asked us to take photographs for his new website, we expected to shoot only straight forward sequences of the different attacks. 

But when designer and art director Ronel Van Heerden of NineNinetyNine and I suggested a more interesting approach using slow shutter speeds for some images, Hans very enthusiastically said yes! 

And this is the result.
