Bodybuilder Photo Sessions
As the saying goes, what works for one may not work for another… this is true when shooting a photo session for a male bodybuilding vs. a female fitness athlete. Setting up a session for a pro or amateur male athlete takes a different approach and focuses on muscle hardness, angles to show off size and their conditioning. (Female athletes also show off their figure, but usually in a different manner)
Prior to setting up the shoot we discuss when the date of session will occur as we try to time the everything around their peak conditioning near their show. Preferably, the goal is to get the photos done after their tanning has taken place to also assist in showing off the definition further and preventing additional glare if they’re pasty white like me.
Through previous discussions, I’ll know their favorite exercises and poses they prefer to hit on stage and make a game plan to capture those images.
Within the Tampa Bay region, I have a good relationship with a local gym if that particular session is desired or we can plan a studio or outdoor session. The ultimate goal is to show off your physique and capture the hard work that was done leading up to your day on stage.
