CrossFit athletes - Scotland
A personal project I’m exploring to further develop and improve my artificial lighting skills, illustrating strength athletes at CrossFit Skirmish Gym in Edinburgh. A body of work made possible initially by a friend, Darren Taft, who agreed to let me photograph him working out, which was then extended by Sasha Voronov, the highly personable owner of CrossFit Skirmish, who welcomed me into the gym and has kindly offered me the opportunity to return.
Alexander ‘Sasha’ Voronov
Alexander Voronov (Sasha for short) is the Head Trainer of CrossFit Skirmish gym in Edinburgh. Sasha’s first passion, I learned from the Crossfit Skirmish website, was Judo, where the ‘Russian powerhouse’ represented both Scotland & the UK at international level before he moved into Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), becoming a British medallist at MMA and a semi-professional fighter. As well as his CrossFit qualifications, Sasha is also a qualified Judo and British Weightlifting Coach.
