I met Veronica a few years ago at a cross fit class in Walnut Creek. She was visiting her sister from Europe and was only in California for the summer. Back home she is a personal trainer and a bad ass. She gets people in shape and to live healthier lives. We talked about doing a fitness shoot the next time she came to the Bay Area. She contacted me thru instagram a few years later and we were able to do a fitness session in Walnut Creek. We did these outdoors and really got some awesome fitness photos. To capture the best fitness photos, it’s important to use artificial lighting. I wanted to over power the sun, and create my own dramatic lighting. We used oil to give her a little shine to photos.
Being able to control the light for fitness photography is the most important. Placing shadows in the right places and the highlights in the other.
