Keep reading to discover 5 great tips on getting the perfect fitness photoshoot.
1. Come Prepared
Before you start looking for a photographer, get clear on what you'd like to achieve with your photos. Find inspiration online, in magazines or from your favorite people in the industry. Think about the message you're trying to send with the pictures and make a list of poses you love.
When you book a photo shoot, don't come unprepared. Bring multiple outfits, props, makeup, and most importantly, great attitude. If you're not fully involved in the session, your photos will reflect that, no matter how talented the photographer is.
2. Find the Right Photographer
When you're planning a fitness photo shoot, spend a good amount of time researching for the right photographer.
To make sure they're a good fit, look at their portfolio, services, and testimonials. If possible, get recommendations and read reviews online.
You should be comfortable with the photographer and trust they'll do the best job. Hiring the cheapest on the list may lead to disappointment and wasted time, so be careful in your choice.
3. Find the Best Location
You can have a fitness photoshoot either in the photographer's studio or at a location of your choice. On-set photoshoots are pretty straightforward, but if you're on location, you'll need to consider backgrounds, changing into different outfits and the overall vibe of the photos.
Make a decision based on the purpose your photos will serve. Do you need them to get started in the fitness industry or promote yourself as a brand?
4. Plan Your Poses
When you're preparing for a fitness photo shoot, make sure to plan the poses in advance. You don't want to get stuck on ideas when you get to the studio, so make a list and practice them a little beforehand.
The photographer will also help you choose the best ones for you. If you can, bring someone to help you adjust the poses, and fix your hair and makeup.
5. Be Authentic
The only way to get the perfect fitness photos is to be confident in yourself.
You've worked hard on your body and health and now you have the chance to show it to the world in its best light.
Be original and authentic in your poses and always smile naturally.
