See what athletes say about working with us.
Drew Foote has an unreal ability to capture jiu-jitsu the way it actually feels. Not just the positions, but the tension, the grit, the split-second battles for control. Every photo tells a story — the calm before a scramble, the chaos in the middle of it, and the exhaustion at the end.

All the details, explained
What makes Footework Studios different from other photographers?
Most photographers show up and document what happens. We show up and see the person underneath the action.
What sports do you cover?
Boxing. MMA. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Wrestling. Judo. Kickboxing. Muay Thai. Powerlifting. Strength sports. Arm Wrestling. Crossfit. Bodybuilding.
If it demands individual grit and physical sacrifice, we want to be there. Traditional team sports are not our lane — this work requires a specialist, not a generalist.
Why don’t you shoot traditional sports like football, baseball, basketball, or soccer?
Because that’s not where our heart is.
Drew has competed in cage fighting, judo, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. We photograph what we’ve lived — the internal battle, the grit that doesn’t show up on a scoreboard. Combat athletes deserve a photographer who actually gets it. That’s what we’re here for.
How do I book a private portrait session with Footework?
Reach out through the contact page or DM us on our Instagram. We’ll set up a quick call to talk about your goals and what you want these images to say about you.
How do I get Footework to shoot my event?
Get in touch with your event date, location, and details. We cover combat sports promotions, tournaments, and competitions throughout Arkansas and surrounding areas.
The earlier you reach out, the better — dates fill up fast.
Do you work with gyms and martial arts schools or just shoot events?
We absolutely do both and all! We have monthly and quarterly gym/school retainer packages that include regular content shoots, with optional social media management and marketing strategy.
If you’re serious about growing your gym’s presence, let’s talk.
