How did you get started doing this type of work?
I never realized cameras were always around my presence.
From my many years of serving in the U.S. Army. Photography allowed me to have a voice. Bodybuilding and fitness provided direction and purpose.
The magazine, gave me an opportunity, to compose emotionally motivating images. Images that people could connect with on a deeper level.
Competing with veteran photographers on delivering, images under time restraints; I listened, learned, & and observed my peers' achievements and mistakes. These lessons provided a guide, to better assist clients on their needs.
After some time of adjusting to the workflow of the fitness industry,
Marketing Dept conversations were the next level of interest. How can I still deliver impactful images and meet their criteria; listen learn and understand.
Hacking the Creative Control matrix is no easy task.
Deadlines became easier, responsibilities of workloads stacked a little higher.
Respecting each others intelligence and need to accomplish your needs.
