London resident photographer Armando FERRARI, who has already realized impressive reportages on amateur boxing and motorcycle speedway, heard about the Roller Girls from a friend: “I was looking to do a project about strong female personalities and perspectives within sport. What’s great about this is that it’s not a girl’s version of a boy’s sport. They just love doing their own thing and aren’t bothered about whether or not you buy into it.” The Glasgow Roller Derby team, which became British Champions in 2015, was accompanied by Armando in action. The result can be seen in JOCKS & NERDS MAG and here on GoSee.

About common era
common era is an agency that represents a handful of carefully curated visual artists. Photography and image making is our passion — we strive to forge lasting relationships with both our artists and our clients. Along the way, we pride ourselves on strategic representation and career development for our roster while providing full-service support to our clients.
We produce all shoots either in-house or in partnership with trusted local producers depending on the requirements of the job. Our goal is to make sure that everyone goes home happy. By operating on a project-by-project model we can scale up production support as needed and by tapping into our network of global suppliers we ensure a smooth shoot regardless of the location.
We’ve shot cars in sub-zero temperatures in the Austrian Alps, photographed aristocracy in an impressive country estate, snapped celebrities on the streets of London, and even learned the secret behind creating an indoor BBQ without setting off the fire alarm. No project is too big or too small.
