I am looking for a photographer in the Ohio area. I own a fitness company and we were thnking of doing a calendar project. I have tried some ametures in the area but it just doesnt cut it. Let me know if anyone may be interested. Also looking for some male and female models in the area. It is a fitness shoot, so no skinny girls. You have to have some muscle.

I would think, with yourself and your clients, you should have the body types on hand. Gym shoots are fun, especially with the mirrors reflecting lighting and blowing exposures. Do you have samples of the attempts? Perhaps a little advice could help them to do a better job.

Look for tight framing and proper lighting. Calendar shooting requires a rectangular to square image format, depending on the final page shape. I couldn't quickly find an example in my current files, but this shows an athlete in action:
If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!
If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try!

Not all shots will be in the gym we are thinking all aspects of fitness. From rollerblading to maybe even skydiving. Moto cross, Water skiing, ect. I would like a male and female in each shot for each month. It's hard to come by fitness model women in Ohio. All shots we have done are like the ones on my profile. Not really acceptable for everyday calendar.

Egad! I see what you mean. Distracting backgrounds, low resolution images, cropping and/or framing that doesn't lend itself to calendar format. Plus, you need someone who can shoot while skydiving--tall order, that.

Having two in each shot makes filling the format easier. I'd volunteer except for two things. Distance and the prospect of jumping out an airplane.
If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!
If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try!

The women are some of the ladies that I have trained. One of them used to be over 200 lbs.

That is more what I am looking for. But I want to put a guy and girl in each photo. So throw in a ring girl walking by and you got it.

Well I dont have any of them together but I do have shots of them separate. Sorry I just took those on Sunday. I think I am going to eventually try and get some of these fighters and ring girls together for a shoot. I think it would make a great calendar considering its so popular right now. Here is a shot of the girls, the one on the left was a doll.

Ring Girls

I am good friends with Jeff Hammond of Make em Sweat. He does alot of shots of the fighting and boxing. He manages fitness models in Ohio, but all the girls think they are some superstars. I guess cause they are in Ohio. Go to CA and you are just another hot girl. Jeff has alot of great shots.

Hey, next time I visit my sister in Cleveland, I wouldn't mind helping you out.

Give me through November to get to your area. Just keep the global warming thing going. I hate the cold!

Have you thought of using some green screen technology for these photos? It is easier to control the environment, with lighting, wind, and possitioning. I'm usually in the dayton area atleast once a month and would be willing to discuss some options with you. all but two of the photos in my portfolio use green screen technology. Also you might check out my portfolio here www.photo.net/photodb/member-photos?user_id2000061
Let me know if you have any questions.
