You may not know this but fitness modeling
is VERY hard work. We are often bringing thousands of dollars of camera equipment into some of the most inhospitable places, not to mention bringing models that don’t know what to expect, placing them in the most awkward settings. Now here’s where the fun begins.
In this photo, we have a great model poised for the camera, ready to make a kind of grungy urban shot. What you don’t realize is that our location is in the back of a downtown nightclub behind the dumpsters. Our model is standing barefoot on a series of rusty pipes that run the length of the building. To make matters worse, the overpowering smell of urine is causing our valiant model to gag between shots. In addition he has to keep balancing himself against the dumpster which is also making an attempt to challenge the urine for which is more gross.
As you can see the shot turns out nicely with very soft morning light and nice modeling on the face showing good detail in the shadow areas. We are shooting at f2.8 at 1/60 at about 9 am so the ambient light is just great. The point is that you’ve got to be ready to make small sacrifices for your art form. Don’t be afraid to get a little dirty on location.
