PROFESSIONAL FITNESS PHOTOGRAPHY IN STUDIO, PRETORIA

With Covid having been part of our lives for about two years a bit, many people couldn’t keep up with their fitness regimes, whereas others immersed themselves in home gyms and doing workouts from their own home’s comfort. So even though for some it worked and for many it didn’t, some people used to having fitness and a healthy lifestyle part of their everyday routines, still kept up with their fitness goals, and when reaching some goals – a photoshoot is in order.

What an amazing client this was. Previously a male model, so very much comfortable with posing and good fashion expressions – he made my job easy that day, paired together with his tall physique and fun attitude, we had a blast in the studio.

The fitness shoot is usually done by people who have been training for awhile, usually for a certain fitness goal, perhaps some weight loss or a some more toning, or another popular idea are challenges that gyms or training groups on social media hold, for a period of 8 or ten weeks for example, planning a whole system of meal preparation, weigh-ins and training obviously, motivating the group who joined to reach certain milestones the be evaluated at the end of the challenge, many times for cash prizes or a bunch of other cool stuff like gym equipment. It’s tough, it can break you but many people get out stronger on the other side and want to then celebrate this with a stunning photoshoot.

The Loci Photography studio in Pretoria have been shooting fitness shoots for training enthusiasts for years. It’s a shoot where we can technically play a lot with light and shape, different to the very feminine boudoir lines. So I think when they eventually get so far as to the point of a photoshoot with me, it’s been a journey of some blood, sweat and tears.
