Over the last few weeks, i have been collaborating with few gym regulars in capturing their progress from Summer to Winter. I used to do a paid sports photography and eventually built networks through reputation in gaining new clients.
There are two conceptual projects:
1) Before-after shots (natural)
2) Established master shots (highly edited)
The vast majority of trainees were pretty keen in this ongoing project. One is that they can track their performance from Summer to Winter while maintaining a set control in taking photos. Same room, same posture, same lighting, same camera and settings.
The benefit for me is i can work with them every few weeks to utilise new photography techniques and as a figure for post-processing.
Win-win situation.
