This was the first time I shot my shower on black images. I shot them with a new model Brit and she looked great. She had a very fit look and it really came out in these images.
Top fitness image of the year.
I have this thing I do where the model is oiled and the light is gelled. I often refer to the image as a fitness because the oil brings out muscle definition by using the reflectivity of the skin.
Brit’s body begs to be shot this way, so of course I did.

Here are two of those images.
Is this a headshot? A portrait? A fitness image?
She manages to convey all three in one image.

This images was shot after we did my signature oiled body images which will be on display later in the week, but before we go her wet. That is why her skin has an interesting finish.
I think it fitting that I end this long series of model Ashely Warnken with a shot of her abs.
Again.
I call this fitenss, but it is more about fitness that showing fitness. OK, that makes no sense. What it mean is looking at this image you think Ashely is fit. She’s not doing anything fitness related, but she conveys the meaning.

Sometimes posing comes from function. I asked for fitness poses, and she started doing yoga stuff.

Ashley is a professional belly dancer and also has a beautifully hard body. I’ve shot belly dancers at the Texas Renaissance Festival for years. I’ve even given them my card, though they’ve never contacted me. Maybe next year I’ll put this image on a business card.
There were two light for this shot, a softbox with a bastard amber gel front camera left. A strobe with barndoor behind for the edge. Couldn’t keep the lens flare out, but I think it kind of adds to the image, though there is a color shift in the middle I’m not real happy with.
