Lithuanian photographer Almantas Mickus shows a completely different angle of traditional fighting tournaments that are happening in Vilnius.
Instead of shooting next to the fighting ring, he chooses to shoot behind the scenes, capturing photos of fighters before and after the fight.
“I wanted to show the hidden side of the ring and to reveal the emotions of fighters that occur before and after the tournament. Accordingly, I wanted to contribute to the popularising of this sport”, – says photographer.
