Real Life Super Hero

Recently, I had the pleasure of spending time with and photographing Kawa Mawlayee ( @kawa_m_official ). He has an extremely hectic schedule managing an online retailer, "The MUSA store", tactical and combat training with Alpha Training Group and Musa, military-technical advisors for the entertainment industry. I was honored to be able to have him fit me into that schedule.

This training course I was able to photograph was about close-quarters pistol training. It was very impressive to watch him train and work with the students. The level of mastery of his technique it's something to watch.
