Fitness Photography with Josh

gavinwyatt — Fri, 10 May 2013 01:36:04 +0000

A few weeks ago when we did this shoot Josh had a lot going on – he had pulled off a serious training and dieting schedule with Paul Foote Fitness, was about to compete in his first IFBB bodybuilding comp AND his wife was due any day with their first baby. Fast forward a couple of months and his trophy for coming second in his category is safely in the trophy cupboard, training is still on track and the new addition to his family arrived safe and sound. Congrats on everything Josh… I think it’s safe to say you’ve still got a lot going on !

Here’s the final edits of his images from the fitness photoshoot. I love shooting in Conan Gym, the light is great and easy to manage and it has a gritty, textured feel to it. Most of these are shot with a single softbox and a second bare flash to provide side/back light where needed.

Adam Forsyth – Australian Champion

Adam Forsyth is Australia’s number one ranked cruiserweight, a man boasting an undefeated record since turning pro. An Australian amateur heavyweight champion and 2004 Olympian, Adam has his sights firmly set on the world title. I sat in on a training session with him and his coach, the legendary Jeff Fenech, and got some shots in (the photography kind!) inbetween their sparring. Here’s a few of the best ones.

Move Fitness Photoshoot

Here are some of my favourite images from the photoshoot I did for Move Fitness last weekend. I think you’ll agree it would be tough to find better looking models than Caroline, Nikki, Bianca and Dave, so these photos kind of took themselves! We did the shoot at the Canning jetty in Como, a nice spot because of the variety of locations really close together. The strong wind kind of took us by surprise, making things a bit tricky and pretty chilly especially as we got close to sunset. It didn’t detract from the fun we had on the day, and it definitely didn’t detract from the images we got. These guys are in amazing shape, I’m astounded by how much work they put into their bodies. They all competed in the IFBB/WFF comp at the Italian club in Perth yesterday, and did phenomenally well. Dave took out first place in the ‘First Time Body Builder’ category, Bianca came first in the ‘Sports Model’ category, Nikki came fourth in the ‘Novice Figure’ category, and Carolyn came fourth in the ‘Sports Model’ category! Amazing stuff, well done guys!

Fitness Portfolio Shoot with Amy, Aaron and Bron

Amy Fox from Move Fitness here in Perth got in touch with me recently to do some photographs for her. An uber-qualified personal trainer, Amy competes in bodybuilding competitions, one of which was recently held in Perth. Amy and her friends Aaron and Bron were all competing, and wanted some stylish images for their portfolios. We decided the Canning River jetty was a nice and varied location that gave us a few setting options, so met there on a windy afternoon. We managed to squeeze in an hour and a half of shooting (and chasing runaway softboxes!) before the rain came in, and the shots came out real nice. What’s even more impressive than the photographs is the commitment these guys make to staying in shape. Their bodies are incredible, and so is their dedication and resolve. Have a look at the images and see for yourself!
