The Urban Jedi: I am not talking about an urban legend, neither do I speak of a saga, a myth, or a long lost religion. I speak of the truth that lies within many individuals that live in our crowded cityscape. This truth is the craving to unleash that which stands behind the word Jedi! It is agility, graceful movement, and lethal strength.

What I am trying to say is that a few days ago a bunch of old friends of mine summoned me to photographically record a thing that used to be a highschool dream for some of us, a lightsaber fight, as featured in the Star Wars Movies. I must admit I had often dreamt of the day that I can transform a wooden weapon into a graceful lightsaber in post-processing. That day is here. At the same time, their dream was that they would be the ones holding the wooden utensil that I transform into a lightsaber. These combined with my hunger for even more elements to add to my portfolio, resulted in this unique session with broadens my offer to my clients even more. Now whoever is interested in personal portraits and is a fan of the Star Wars saga, can make his/her dream come true! Without further ado, I give you Master Jedi Logan Templar (equipped with a green crystal lightsaber), his padawan learner Mirrassi (with the golden lightsaber) and their arch enemy, the Sith Lord Shadowan Kojin (with his fiery red lightsaber). Let the duel begin!

For the readers’ curiosity sake, the three duelists are as follows:
Master Jedi Logan Templar aka Daniel: trained in the art of Karate and Kobudo for 5 years

Padawan Mirrassi aka David:
has studied Tae Kwon Do for 8 years, Karate for 6 months and Aikido for 3 months. He also enjoys throwing elements of baseball into his overall technique.

Sith Lord Shadowan Kojin aka Gaelan:
enjoys th use any element of strength he posesses as well as his extraordinary agility and any obvious flaw in the opponent’s technique to his advantage. If everything else fails, his large capacity of brute force always comes in handy.



David (middle): “I’m sorry, I’m the new kid, what are we supposed to do with these again?”
