Veronica contacted me about doing a series of photographs over the next few months that show her body transformation as she prepares for a fitness competition.  Body building has always kind of intrigued me but I don’t have the discipline to do it myself, I totally respect those who do it.  Always game for a fun shoot, especially one I’ve never done before, I jumped at the oppertunity.  Last week we agreed upon this evening, so we shot a few hours ago and I got a few edited.

Reviewing the photos in camera should be a crime, I totally hated the images we first started to shoot based on the histogram and LCD monitor, I load them in my Macbook and I’m pretty happy with the lighting.  Veronica wanted to shoot in her local gym, a true gym, no fancy nautilus stuff you’d find in a country club.  Patrons here use real weight, sweat and power to get big.

We moved to a cement brick wall for a few more shots and some posing.

And the bathing suit shots.

Next progress shoot will be in about three weeks, I’ll be bringing more strobes with me, my laptop for better image review and possibly doing some location work.  I’m real interested in how this series and Veronica’s training will progress for the upcoming competition in November.

Thank you to Veronica for contacting me about this series and the Key Lime Rita’s, and Mike for letting us shoot in his gym.
