Judy Jensen is a photographer based in Des Moines, Iowa in the hotbed for midwest MMA. She has been following MMA
since 2001 and really feels that there is no greater sport on earth!
She attends shows as often as she can. "There are some really great promotions as well as fighters in the midwest," she
said. "My passion is photography. My dream job is actually to be a MMA photographer. I am always snapping pictures at
every event I go to."
She became involved in the MMA scenes because of a couple people she knows who participate in the sport. "I started out
doing it because some of my friends fight. The two guys who really got me into it are Chris Mickle and Josh Neer," she said. "I
would tag along to their fights with them before they started in the bigger shows and take pictures and I got a love for it
from there."
She has also branched off into doing some photo work for fight gear companies. "This past year I have been lucky enough
to do some fashion photography for Six Duece Gear and Warrior Wear," she said. "My friend Emily, who is a ring girl for
the IFL, models the clothes, and I take the shots. I've done three shoots for Craig at Six Duece and probably around
7 or 8 for Nate at Warrior Wear."
