Photoshoot with Powerlifter April

Shooting with my friend April to show off her powerlifting. She’s only been at it a year and made tremendous gains. We shot at her gym Skywolf Fitness with her trainer Stefan. The idea was to show off the power and muscle and not to make it look pretty.

Fitness Shoot with Powerlifter April

April came into the studio to get a few pictures before doing a big cut for a powerlifting shoot later this summer. We did a little studio and outdoor work. In addition it was first time teaming up with Ryan from Lomer Photography.

Athletic Nudes with Alora Griffiths

Alora Griffiths, is a lifelong athlete starting out in competitive hockey, then cross-fit and now power lifting. She can squat 400lbs and dead lift 400lbs placing her top 10 in her weight class. She came into the studio in December to shoot my athletic nude series. Her warmups are most people's personal bests. We lifted "light" that day, just enough weight to bring out the muscles. Alora was a lot of fun to hang out with and constantly amazed with her strength.

Incredible strength from the feet up

- The Athletic Implied Nudes series is an exploration of the human body under muscle stress— understanding the body’s strength, flexibility, and power. Clean backgrounds, hard lighting, and black & white photography work together to eliminate distractions and highlight the muscle groups and figure of my subjects.

Beginning with Mixed Martial Artists and Boxers, I have developed my technique to capture rapidly firing muscle groups at high speed in front of the lens. The resulting instinct for timing fight photography has lead to an ability to freeze my subjects at the peak of their motion. Discovering a better understanding of the human form with this project has transitioned into my commercial fitness work, maximizing composition and positioning to best showcase the human form.

- Alora Griffiths has been powerlifting for 4 years. She is ranked 10th in the world for the 132lb / Female / Raw with Wraps.
