More Skyview Sports Portraits
This post contains more sports portraits (or sportraits as many now call them) from a shoot mentioned in this previous post. While so many think that this is a new style of lighting and several photographers are willing to claim it as their discovery, I was actually using this three point lighting back in the mid ’80s. Who invented it? I don’t know but my inspiration came from the illustrations in the comic books that I read as a kid.
Nicole – Fitness Model/Figure Competitor
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.
