Fitness Lifestyle Photos with Lian Price - Fitness & Beauty Model

As a NASM certified full-time personal trainer and NPC Bikini athlete, Lian Price was looking to build her modeling portfolio with some fitness lifestyle photos. We set out to create images that showed Lian in different workout scenarios.

During our consultation, we talked about what Lian needed in her portfolio and the overall style of the photos. It works out really well when i can meet with my client and models ahead of time. It gives us a chance to get to know each other and to really understand what we all want out of the shoot. Next step...finding the right setting.

We were able to use a local gym with great studio space and lots of workout equipment. One other thing you'll find at a well-equipped gym; mirrored walls, which presents a challenge for getting photos without me in them. 

We wanted to showcase Lian's level of fitness and agility. This was probably as tough as a real workout since we took several shots in the same pose. Lian had to hold each pose for the shot. It was a good demonstration of her actual level of fitness.

I also wanted to create some images that looked different than how a typical brightly lit gym might be. See two above and this one below. 

For the fully lit shots, you can see how I photographed the original and then used some post processing to create different styles:
We also grabbed some time in one of the yoga studios for a different look.

I really enjoyed working with Lian. She's professional, dedicated and hard working. 
It was a fun shoot and I think Lian has the photos she wanted for her portfolio.
