Look Who Copied My Selfies Series!

Look who copied my “I Love Selfies” series!

I Love Selfies! is a series I have been running and it has worked well for a number of people. Something I can do for you right now to start raising your profile.

I invite you to send me some selfies and I will show you off on my Blog and all of my Social Media as well as my Facebook pages. You will be seen by so very many! My pages are followed extensively by magazine editors, publishers, supplement companies and tens of thousands of people. In the gym, showing off the hard work you have put in, at the pool, or just having fun. 

So send me your Selfie and let’s show this guy how it’s done! My e-mail is SecondFocus@mac.com. Thanks!

Take Your Abs With You!

Doubtfully the same weather in the UK for Tina Sansom that she had here in Palm Springs just a few weeks ago. However likely her abs are just as good. So the lesson is, take your abs wherever you go and you will always be hot! From our photo shoot, with Makeup and Hair Styling by Natalie Lyle!

I Found Gold At Venice Beach!

I found Gold at Venice Beach! Maria Bertrand had the best idea of how to start out Fall this year. And in front of my camera makes it even better. Any wonder why this woman has been in front of cameras around the world for the finest fashion houses and the most well known fashion magazines. How lucky am I! Thank You Maria!!

You Can Be A Star Where You Are!

I met Jennifer Henry when she did one of the shows at Muscle Beach/Venice, and over the months following, learned more about her. The more I learned the more impressed. You never know the path one follows. But I do know that we all can be inspired by those near us. And being inspired by Jennifer Henry is in that category. But for now I will say, look her up on her Facebook page and I am sure she will be telling her story to many more.

Jennifer is doing exactly what I tell and have told to many of you who want to be stars in our world of bodybuilding and fitness. Everyone wants to be on the cover of the magazines and have a big time contract. It can happen but it just does not happen for everyone. Luck, time. place, whatever. But you can be a star where you are right now! That will take you a very long way. And Jennifer is doing exactly that. And that is the right path to those next big opportunities and dreams! Good job Jennifer!

It Takes More…

When I first photographed Jamie Eason for Bodybuilding.com for all of those ads and features, she told me about the hard work she put in to make her way up in the world of fitness. Jamie treated herself as a business and made the investment and put in the time. I will tell you right now that she is smart person and not just a pretty face and great body. Although I would love to have all of you come shoot with me, remember it takes more than great photographs to get ahead. Happy to chat with any of you if you have any questions. Thanks!

Incognito At Venice Beach

Incognito at Venice Beach. I think Maria Bertrand wears a suit much better than I do. And no tie required. On the Venice Beach boardwalk it is not easy to look unique, but I think we did that! I saw no other tall beautiful models wearing a suit and Fedora out there. None!

She Found The Gym!

I just love my best buddy Natalie Lyle. Some years ago, she started out as my Makeup Artist on my photo shoots and has been steadily with me ever since. The entire world of bodybuilding and fitness was new to her back then. Not the case any more! She lives and has fun with it and is doing more and more everyday. Over the last four months she has gone from beautiful with a rocking body and amazingly long legs to putting on some muscle to start sculpting down to her same self but solid with definition and the lines of an athlete.  What an amazing women, you have to picture that she is 6 ft tall in her bare feet and just stunning. Loving her journey and looking forward to seeing more of the journey of Natalie Lyle!

Want To Lose 5 Pounds Today?

Want to lose 5 pounds today? Throw your scale away! My friend Duyen Arissshared the best comparison ever. In the left photo she weighs 113 pounds. Two years later she weighs 113 pounds. That is two years of eating good real food and lifting iron in the gym. I wonder how many women for two years have been on one “diet” or another and been bouncing around in some group class trying to lose 5 pounds. And the wrong 5 pounds at that! By the way, in that photo on the right, Duyen is 40 years old. Outstanding!
