Carl Frampton is a Belfast Boxer, trains at Holy Trinity Gym, Trained by the legendary Gerry Storey and Managed by Barry McGuigan.

Carls patience was unbelievable today when we met up at a car park at Belfast Castle.

As i looked up at Cavehill and the amount of gear i had to carry i knew i was going to end up struggling. I must have looked really bad 45 Minutes into the climb as Carl kept offering me Water to drink and trying to talk me out of going on !

Thankfully we pushed on up the mountain, then i decided to climb into a CAVE, yes as if this shoot wasn’t hard enough i then scaled the 14 feet up into the cave like a coiled spring !

Ok, coiled spring mightn’t be the right description but it was well worth it.

10 Minutes later when my blood pressure went back down and i regained the power of speech we started to set up the lighting for the pictures, and i got to tell you i’m stoked with these shots.

Enjoy

    Russell,

    the pictures are amazing!!! your doing yorself a bit of injustice there, you reminded me of a professional mountain climber getting into that cave.

      A very unfit mountain lion !
