Venice Beach Fashion Then And Now
Could you not just see this magnificent beautiful woman on the Venice Beach boardwalk back in 1968 and then again now. The very fashionable Maria Bertrand.
Seaside
Isn’t it just magic when you photograph a beautiful woman seaside. Maria Bertrand at Venice Beach.
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!
Photographing Beautiful Girls
Yes I have been photographing beautiful girls in exotic locations for over 50 years! Are you next?
Pick You Plane For Your Photo Shoot
Thank You to so many of you for your notes and e-mails about shooting with me. I just want to be clear that we cannot just run over to the Palm Springs Air Museum with lights and cameras and wardrobe and a makeup artist, set up and start shooting photographs on the tarmac with a P-51 Mustang or the four engine bomber of your choice. This is well arranged ahead of time and there are costs involved. Sharon Lim and I had discussed this early on, and with some bumps in the road, I was able to make this happen. So I would love to shoot with you with that P-51 or maybe a helicopter but send me a note and we can chat about it. Thanks!
Bigger And Better!
Bigger is better and you can see the photographs as big as your biggest screen on my website. The quality is also much much better than what you see on Facebook, Instagram or other social media. Access my Blog directly from there too. Check it out at SecondFocus Dot Com. Please do! Thanks! http://www.secondfocus.com/
Who You Gonna Call? Me Of Course!
Who you gonna call? Me of course! When you want to shoot those gym photographs after you put in all that hard work. When you are doing your ads for the magazines or billboards or banners. When you are planning your magazine features. Or when you are looking for special photographs from my archive. I think Mark Ebinger in front of my camera was the right combination. He sure put in all that hard work! I can do it for you too. Thanks!
Sexy And Creative From 1985 With Rachel McLish.
So very sexy and creative and attention grabbing. A health club television commercial from 1985 featuring Rachel McLish, the very first Ms. Olympia. I really do not think ads for gyms and supplement companies really measure up today.
However this is one national magazine ad that I think is great. I photographed this for Bodybuidling.com.
The Woman Who First Said “I Love To Look Good Naked”
As we go into the weekend, I thought I might share with you more of what my job is, and it is not easy! Photographing beautiful women!
Can you believe this was actually an out take from a magazine ad shoot for Bodybuilding.com! The actual ad with another photograph we chose from that shoot ran in fitness and bodybuilding and more magazines that I even can recall for a long time. For quite a while I heard and still hear from women who tore that ad out and put it on their refrigerators. I think quite a few guys did too! The model is Maria Rogers and one of my all time favorite photo shoots. And you can click on the photograph to go to the video we shot around the photo shoot, also for Bodybuilding.com. I am pretty sure it was Maria who started the phrase “I Love To Look Good Naked” in that video. You really want to watch the video!
Are you ready to do a photo shoot with me? Would you like me to shoot your magazine features or advertising? Send me a note and let’s chat about it. Thanks!
Are You Looking At Me?
Are you looking at me? Maybe to be in one of my photo shoots or have me photograph a magazine feature or your advertising. It is getting very busy so please send me a note to my e-mail to SecondFocus@mac.com. Let’s do this! Thanks!

Working Hard Under Difficult Circumstances…
