Best Fitness Photographers in Las Vegas

Bikini, FIGURE, Physique, BODY BUILDING AND Sport

By Fitness Photographer John Copeland

I began going to the gym as part of my rehabilitation after Hip surgery.

I started shooting fitness ten years ago. There wasn’t many Fitness Photographers in Las Vegas at that time. It was after having a hip replacement in 2011 that I became interested in doing fitness and bodybuilder photography. After the rehab, I joined LVAC to continue on my own. It was there where I met some very inspirational people that were changing their lives and the lives of others.  Because of that experience I have been shooting fitness photography in Las Vegas ever since.

I wanted to document the work and capture the art they created.

I had been doing glamour photography and shooting nudes of women for many years.  I had done photos of a few male bodybuilders and athletes, but I had never really worked much with the muscular female form.

Going regularly to the gym, I saw and met some truly amazing women with very muscular physiques. I watched as they worked out over the months to lose the weight and become fit and strong.

I wanted to become one of the best fitness photographers in Las Vegas and make photos for them that would be a testament to their hard work. I appreciated the hard work and dedication they put into their physical conditioning.

It is amazing the way an individual can sculpt their shape and form with a combination of diet and exercise. Part of the reward is to see it looking back at you in the mirror, but the other should be to document it forever, in great photos, with lighting that will bring out the individual muscles, that will show the figure’s overall shape and form to it’s maximum.

Lighting is the key

To bring out the shape and form of the human body and at the same time have the face looking beautiful, the light must be almost perfect. The best light for the figure is quite different than the most flattering light for faces, and of course we want you looking absolutely your best from top to bottom.

This where my years shooting centerfold models for Penthouse and Playboy have trained my eye and honed my lighting skills. Do I shoot a bit sexy because of that? Yeah probably,… but you will look great in your photos! .. and lets face it there is nothing sexier than a well trained body – male or female.

PERSONAL Trainers – YOUR PHOTOS ARE YOUR BEST MARKETING TOOL

There are thousands of personal trainers, fitness models, competitors, dancers and entertainers in the country all vying for the same clientele, the same “brass rings”. If you are a trainer, your body and it’s condition is a reflection of your skills and talents.

If you can’t make yourself look great, how can your clients expect you to make them look great? You can’t meet everyone in person. More often than not, most people will initially “meet” you in your photos. On business cards, websites, model composites, your business portraits, headshots, fitness and figure photos are often your only advertising. First impression is very important. We can show you off to your best advantage no matter your needs.
