Fitness shoots, are also a whole new bunch of fun.

Many determined people live an amazingly healthy, fit lifestyle, and does indeed have strict routines for going to gym, and eating healthy. This gives them stunning physiques and it’s a joy to photograph because you have stunning lines and shapes to work with.

This amazing woman challenged herself for some time, by eating healthy and having a routine for her training, and she decided to her a fitness shoot done.

The fitness shoot, is all about lines. We’re fortunate to already get someone with an amazing body so it becomes the job to now show it off.

With clever lighting and positioning, we show the already amazing lines of abs, arms, legs etc, so much better, which leaves these clients proud of their achievements.

This type of shoot, fitness shoots can easily be done using natural light as well, next to a window perhaps, with softer light flowing into rooms.

This time, we opted for the studio set-up, and because I can luckily move around freely with my mobile studio set-up, I had been able to bring the set-up through to my client’s home for a shoot there.

I’m in a fortunate position where I get to travel for my job, and I get to meet amazing people, take care of older clients, and build relationships with new ones.

Fitness shoots have a different dynamic because you get to almost work with your client in the manner of helping them, to pose and stand in certain ways to show off their muscles best. Even using some baby oil helps as this gives a sheen to the body’s lines, and photographs beautifully.

The Fuji system again, didn’t fail me with one of my trusted lenses for studio, the 18-55mm, which I feel gives me enough range closer and further.
