Another shoot at my gym, this time with wbff pro and sci mx athlete Martin Silva

[Daniel Giles]

I'm just getting into the fitness industry and adding to my clients was this guy, such a physique!! we did all the usual gym shots then played about with a little off camera lighting. He really liked the shots and i'm pretty happy too. one speed light soft box and my canon 6d and 85 1.2 used. All comments critique or feedback welcomed i love to learn.

Many thanks

Dan

Looks like something from an aftershave bottle. Perfect shot!

I would only add one thing that may improve the final image, the head is not centred perfectly above the torso. This could be very easily adjusted in Photoshop and I think would put it to magazine quality.

cheers @Mark G appreciate the positive criticism will take on board

Fab shot, and the conversion really suits the image.

 

[Daniel Giles]

Thanks very much. In colour his fake tan was a little different in colour so this helped out massively.

Very nicely done, I particularly like the use of uplighting. I've been meaning to try something very similar myself.

But now I'm puzzled.. this does look like more than one light source. Care to elaborate on the setup?

Thanks.. the reflector was the missing piece of information.
