In the world of women’s bodybuilding there are several different flavors. There are bodybuilders who work hard to add lots of size and bulk and sculpt their bodies to perfection. There are fitness competitors who compete in incredible acrobatic dance routines. And there are figure competitors who sculpt their bodies with weight training but don’t attempt to bulk up like bodybuilders do.
I had the awesome opportunity to photograph Nicole. Nicole is both a fitness model and a figure competitor. She told me that she is new to figure competitions and would like to get her pro card.
The kinds of images that you are likely to see Nicole in would be running ads or posing as a boxer, etc. We decided to shoot something a little different.

This football season we were fortunate to be able to work with a dozen Skyview High School athletes creating profile portraits (sportraits) for my Storm website. We worked over a two day period shooting at Kiggins Bowl, Skyview’s home stadium. Jordan, my photo assistant (and son), really got a workout as we took 400 lbs of studio equipment on location and had to move it all over the stadium. Congratulations to the Skyview football team for making it all the way to the WIAA 4A Semi-Finals!
Below is the first set of portraits. I’ll present more in a future post.

Every photographer needs a personal project and I am no different. During the first ten years of my photographic career more than 50% of my assignments were sports action coverage. My clients included daily newspapers on both coasts, national sports magazines, major universities, and the governing bodies of many pro and amateur leagues. I moved on to other types of assignments and my days of sports action seemed well behind me… Then, in 2007, my wife suggested that I shoot some of the games of my son’s high school football team. Skyview High School sports became my personal project. It’s refreshing to be able to shoot without any commercial expectations attached and to give a little bit back to our local community. Below are a few images I’ve shot over the years. If you would like to see more, check out www.storm.davescottphoto.com.
