“Dominate” In The Gym!
She is incredibly beautiful, has wonderful sense of humor, can be goofy, has a rocking body, great fun to be with, lifts iron, eats healthy and can do it all so well in front of my camera. Someone the other morning asked if I was going to retire. I said from what!!
Ashley Owens Gulina from our photo shoot. The wonderful Makeup and Hair Styling by Natalie Lyle. And a great gym! The Power Of Fitness in Palm Desert California. And a special Thank You for Dennis Dennis BodyWear for the great gym wear!
Heidi Cannon Loving Her Photos We Shot
Thanks Heidi Cannon Wbff Pro! I am so very happy you are loving the photos we did!
Ashley Is A Good Reason To Go To The Gym!
And your excuse for not going to the gym was? Ashley Owens Gulina is a good excuse to go to the gym! This time for me to shoot some photographs, maybe for others to work out extra long to just look at her!
Actually a photograph like this in the gym has a lot of parts. First of course there is Ashley. The woman is just beautiful! Next is my Makeup and Hair Stylist Natalie Lyle. Look at the wonderful work she did with Ashley! And Natalie is one hot beautiful woman herself. The gym owner thought I had brought two models not knowing Natalie was the MUA on the shoot. But as Natalie said yesterday “I love doing makeup!”.
Next a big Thanks to Joe Norton, the owner of Power Of Fitness in Palm Desert California. A big beautiful spacious gym with lots of new equipment and a great fun atmosphere. It is really a great gym to workout and just be there!
Then there is my assistant Clyde Sawyer who carries everything, moves the lights, works as my portable voice operated reflection blocker and generally makes it all work.
Ok so now go back to looking at Ashley and catch up with her at her gym up in Rancho Cucamonga or see who else might be showing up at Power of Fitness with me! Thanks!
Muscle Beach 2014
The Summer shows at Muscle Beach. The only real Muscle Beach shows at the place “Where Muscles Were Born”! And the 2014 banner with my photographs of two Muscle Beach favorites of muscle and beauty, even better!
Starting The Weekend With Heidi Cannon
I am thinking we need some more Wbff Pro, Heidi Cannon from our photo shoot here in the Palm Springs desert to get the weekend started!
She Could Just Fly!
Is there any doubt that she could just fly! A vision in the desert amidst the windmills is Heidi Cannon, Wbff Pro, from our photo shoot!
More Is Better Of Randalene!
I just thought it would be fun if you got to see all of her! The photograph we shot that is the original of her Facebook profile photo that has been so very popular. Randalene Sergent in Palm Springs. I think more is better, especially when it is Randalene!
Not Enough!
Raechelle Chase IFBB Figure Professional in front of my camera in the gym. What a fun day and Raechelle Chase is just so very striking beautiful! All the way from New Zealand, the only thing wrong with photographing Raechelle is it does not happen often enough!
I Am Sure That Was A Long Line!
Sherry Goggin is just too gorgeous for words! What an amazing woman signing posters from our photo shoot at the Arnold Sports Festival last week. No doubts that was a long line!
Bodybuilding, Fitness. T-Shirts, Fashion to Edgy Editorial
If you work out to look good and feel good or maybe it is your business too, we can shoot some photographs to show it! Jake Sawyer from one of our photo shoots. Here in Marina Del Rey near world famous Venice Beach. The home of Muscle Beach/Venice, the place “Where Muscles Were Born”!
Check with me to shoot your company, business, or product advertising, magazine editorials and so much more. And not just in bodybuilding and fitness. Everything from t-shirts, fashion to edgy editorial. Send me a note and lets talk about it! Thanks!
And What Did You Do Over The Weekend?
So what were you doing last weekend? Randalene Sergent was winning the INBA/PNBA Bikini Championships. My response… Well of course she won! What do you think! Randalene in one of our photo shoots with makeup and hair styling by Natalie Lyle.
Doing Good!
A big shout out to my friend Marc-arthur Dautruchee. He made his way to stand on the Arnold stage this past weekend and did good! This guy is impressive and has a lot of heart. We are going to be seeing a lot more of Marc! He also impressed the crowd working out in the pit at Muscle Beach over the Summer. Good thing I had a camera!

Time to start booking up to be in front of my cameras or schedule those gyms shoots and magazine stories. Fitness, bodybuilding, edgy editorial. Let’s talk about it! And you can visit my website and look through my blog here to see more, please do! Thanks! http://www.secondfocus.com/
The amazing Sherry Goggin in one of my photo shoots. Worked out just fine, don’t you think!
Huge Congratulations To Ava Cowan!
A huge congratulations to my best buddy Ava Cowan. Ava Cowan just this weekend was on stage for the Figure International at the Arnold Sports Festival. But it was only a year ago when we didn’t know if she would ever be on stage again. Suffering an injury that put her out of the gym and into surgery, it was a long climb back. A climb that I know most would have found all but impossible. So go visit her Facebook pages to learn more about this extraordinary human being and how she did it. There is much to learn for all of us. And now she is off to do it again at the Arnold Australia! Outstanding! This photo from one of our past photo shoots in Marina Del Rey California. Thanks!
An Arnold Winner All The Way From Singapore!
A huge congratulations to my friend Joan Liew. She made her way all the way from Singapore to Columbus Ohio this weekend to win her class in the Arnold Amateur Physique Championships! Outstanding! A photograph from our photo shoot when she made her way all the way from Singapore to me in Palm Springs California. And Makeup and Hair Styling by Natalie Lyle!
My Other Photo Studio… A Gym Of Course!
My photography studio is also… in a gym of course! And here with Xavisus Gayden Ifbb Pro. Come workout in front of my cameras. But be warned it is not as easy as it might look. No fake weights with me.
My Winter Photo Studio
I was just thinking about my good buddy Heidi Cannon Wbff Pro back in Columbus Ohio right now at the “Arnold”. Been there a few times myself. But your sure can’t beat the winter here in front of my cameras in my studio! And Heidi sure made it look good!
All Eyes On Cara…
One magazine publisher said to me “I hate it when Cara is around because I can’t see anything else but her”. Another photographer said “From now on when I dream, I am going to dream of Cara”. Another model said to me once “She doesn’t walk into a room, she sweeps into the room and all eyes just follow her”. My good friend Cara Jo Basso in front of my camera at Muscle Beach/Venice. One of the most very special, creative, beautiful and talented people I have ever known.
Sherry Goggin, A Great Reason To Go To The Arnold!
Are you going to the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus Ohio starting Thursday? Go see my good friend Sherry Goggin and have her autograph a poster for you from our photo shoot. You will find her at the ANSI booth at the huge Expo! There is a good reason to go!
Nothing Bad About That!
What does lifting in the gym do? It can make you powerful and confident, it can make you looking good and sexy. Nothing bad about that! Jessica Jacobsen is all that and a great trainer. Always looks outstanding for my cameras and always fun. Working out does more than just your body good!
Ready for my cameras? Have some fun ideas? I am kind of like the gym, I can make you look good too! Send me a note and let’s talk about it!
