That Natalie Can Run A Photo Shoot!
I let Natalie Lyle run my some of my photo shoots now. She really knows how to keep people in line and doing what I need to make it all look good. Here she is gently explaining to Jonathan Rude how to slow down and squeeze on each rep so I can get some good shots. Natalie runs a tight ship! Jonathan got it right! Natalie is the incredible Makeup and Hair Stylist on so many of my photo shoots for years.
She Was Hanging Drywall
I Love Selfies! She said it’s hardly body revealing but she will do that next time when she has not been drywalling all day! Well I think Janet Crawford Wigginton is quite the eyeful anyway! A Mom of three who has been who has been remodeling for the last month which she says has gone a long way to remodeling herself as well. “Just so you know, counts as a workout!” Real time Janet works in ad sales for health and wellness magazines.
Important to her is realizing that everyone is different but everyone can maintain good fitness in their own way. Good eating habits, good sleep habits, lots of water! “Even if we aren’t perfect, or even close, we can’t give our families the best of us if we are performing at half mast. For the busiest, most overwhelmed of us, our own health is essential to the way our homies will present. Take nothing, especially YOU, for granted.” Well said Janet! Now looking forward to seeing more of you!
I invite you to send me your selfies and I will show you off on my Facebook pages and here on my Blog and all of my other Social Media. Girls and guys, whatever you want to send. In the gym, showing off the hard work you have put in, at the pool, naked or just hanging drywall or just having fun. Anything a little too edgy for Facebook will go on my Blog and I will safely share it here. You don’t have to have ever done a photo shoot with me or even met me in person. It will also be a great way for me to see you and talk about photo shoots. Let’s do this, it’s all fun!
You must send me the selfie as a messageon Facebook or to my e-mail at SecondFocus@mac.com. I will say that I might have to pick and choose to make it manageable and hold some or change when I decide to post them for one reason or another. Thanks!
What A Great Photo Shoot!
What a great photo shoot! Lisa Marino Sanders in front of my camera at Venice Beach was just perfect. Lisa looked just incredible, Natalie Lyle did a fantastic job with her Makeup and Hair Styling. And everything at Venice Beach cooperated from the weather to the workout Pit at Muscle Beach to the boardwalk to the ocean on the sand and even the United States Air Force letting us use their F-16 at the Memorial Day bodybuilding and fitness show. Just a Wow of a day! Thanks everyone!
Not Her First Time But The Most Breathtaking!
Not her first time in front of my cameras but certainly the most spectacular and breathtaking! Sasha Brown over the years I have photographed her has not only dramatically honed her physique but she has become a superbly talented model in front of the camera. Our day of shooting around the Salton Sea was so very outstanding and so very much fun! Thank You Sasha!
Warrior Beauty
Her inner Warrior Beauty, Stacey Naito Ifbb Pro. From our photo shoot like no other. There is so much more to Stacey Naito Ifbb ProDoc than just the beautiful woman so very involved in fitness and health and competition. There is an inner quality and drive that she possesses to make her such a unique and special individual. I think you can see it here!
Much goes in to a photo shoot like this. So many Thank You’s to go around. First to my friend and artist, Jerry L. Hanson for creating and allowing us to use this incredible one a of kind chainmaille cape which he created and now shows in the Archangel Gallery in Palm Springs California. Thank You Jerry! Just amazing!
Next to Blanche LeBeau, Makeup and Hair Stylist who combined her talents with my thoughts about the look that we both envisioned. What would one expect from one of the top talents from Estee Lauder! And her talents also encompassed much of the ideas for wardrobe for much of the shoot as well. Thank You! Outstanding!
Thank You to my long time friend and talented photographer Jaime Klein who allowed us to yet again invade his studio in Van Nuys California. A very considerate and generous host! Thank You my friend!
Thank You to Dan Cuny from Profoto USA for loaning us one of their new B1 500 Air TTL strobes which we used for the remote scenes we shot that day. All of the lighting used that day was Profoto. The results speak for themselves!
And a Thank You to my assistant Clyde Sawyer who as anyone on my shoots comes to know, just does everything and with a laugh and a smile! Thank You Buddy!
“Artist In Action”
A really big congratulations to my buddy Dennis Johnson. Today at the Palm Springs Art Museum doing a print making demonstration as one of their “Artist In Action” presentations. On the main floor of the museum, a sizable group of people gathered around and listened and watched a demonstration of an art form almost unchanged since the 15th Century. Very Cool!
The C-47 And D-Day
Yesterday over Palm Springs, a C-47 painted with the D-Day invasion stripes. The alternating black and white stripes were for easy identification by the Allies during the Normandy landings 70 years ago. The Palm Springs Air Museum flew their C-47 “What’s Up Doc” in honor of that anniversary of the largest seaborne invasion in history. Can you imagine the sky being filled with over 1,000 C-47’s dropping 13,000 paratroopers and towing assault gliders!
In The Cockpit She Looked Better Than Me!
I was just trying to convince Lisa Marino Sanders into letting me drive. But I remember her diplomatically saying that she probably would look better in the cockpit of the F-16 at Muscle Beach than I would. It was hard to argue with that so I just went back to taking the photographs.
Yes on Memorial Day weekend as part of our photo shoot we got Lisa up in that cockpit. And yes it is a real United States Air Force F-16 fighter jet. They brought it out just for us. Ok… well they brought it out for the big Memorial Day show at Muscle Beach/Venice. The place “Where Muscles Were Born”! Thanks!
And a big Thank You to Natalie Lyle for her great Makeup and Hair Styling all day!
