PETE

My hat is off to my friend Pete.  Pete is a personal trainer and has been training himself and others for 10 years.  It amazing the level of dedication his guy has.  As it was coming of on his 10 year mark for working out and training he approached me with the ideal about taking some gym pictures to prove down the road when he got old that he was once fit.  (we both laughed)  

I thought the shoot went well.  It was the first time for me to truck a bunch of gear and get to a location, gym, Platinum Fitness (THANK YOU TO YOU AS WELL), set up and start shooting.  Pete did an awesome job and I was told by him it was harder than an actual workout.  

The lighting kit worked wonders and all I kept thinking was a youtube video about an egg and how the egg changes when you move the light around it.  I was able, with some tweaking, get the lighting to where I needed it to go.  The shoot was just shy of 2 hours, but it was nice, no rushing, we would take a few shots and Pete would have to lift again, then a few more.  This gave me plenty of time to see / visualize the shot I was taking and move things accordingly.  

Post Production - WOW! Tougher than I originally planned.  My back drop even though its large was not large enough and I really had to concentrate on removing the unwanted equipment.  In the end, the pictures turned out great and Pete was more than happy.  

Congratulation Pete on your awesome accomplishment!
