About Fitness Foto

About Fitness Foto including who, what and why. After choosing to be a photographer, I had to decide what kind of photographer and that was a little harder. I love so many styles & themes plus I really enjoy the creative aspect. My first love is bodyscapes & art nude, but I still needed to make a living, and after some reasearch it’s practically impossible to make any money on it’s own. I then took a step back re-assessed and realized that fitness is a great visual encaption of th ehuman form as well,

I worked with a lot of people, did a lot shoots, and tried various other things to make sure it wasn’t just a ‘a thing’ and yeah, I kept coming back to fitness & Physiques. When I get ‘that’ shot, I get excited, maybe not as excited as my clients but very nearly. Weather it’s timing a jump, catching a flex or just a transition set, I get excited. And when you work for yourself you need to have a love and be excited about going to work and what you do, and I do!

After a while I realized people where wanting a sculpted session as well as fitness one, as it’s more on an art way of capturing your physique and the hard work that went in to achieving it. So now I capture the strong & the sculpted with what I call The S&S Sessions Strong & Sculpted. 

The Studio

My studio space is a simple space in Ashton-Under-Lyne, Tameside, Greater Manchester where I have all my studio lighting equipment. What I do have is a large cube of space which is is suitable for all aspects of fitness photography. I also have a selection of props to make your muscles pop. All to help you bend, stretch, pose & flex so we can work together to capture the muscle, group, area or whole physique. I have a wide section of professional modifiers to create the right lighting mood along with a variety of backdrops as well as the the props.

All my equipment was purchased with being mobile in mind so we can go shoot in a park, industrial area or of course your gym. And with my lighting being battery powered, I don’t need to trail power cbales everywhere so I casue as little distraction as possible.
