Do You See What I See?

Do You See What I See?

Do you see what I see? Oh wait, that’s a Christmas song, never mind. But what I am seeing is Stacey Naito Ifbb Pro in front of my camera. You get to see the back of my head as well. Behind the scenes from our photo shoot last week.

Guys Want To Look Good Naked Too!

Guys Want To Look Good Naked Too!

Guys want to look good naked too! David Santapaola has been hitting the gym, not only to look good, but also because it is his part of his chosen career path. From being a United States Marine to his job with a high level specialized security group, if you check out his photos on his Facebook page you will see he is an “action” kind of guy. No balancing on no pastel colored exercise balls in the gym for this guy! Keep It Going!

I invite you to send me your selfies and I will show you off here on my Blog and on my Facebook pages. Girls and guys, whatever you want to send. In the gym, showing off the hard work you have put in, at the pool, 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 to my e-mail at SecondFocus@mac.com or as a message on Facebook. 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!

Her Dark Warrior!

Her Dark Warrior!

Her inner strength becomes her Dark Warrior! Stacey Naito, an Ifbb Pro, who has become well known and admired in our sport of bodybuilding and fitness, has always been a huge fan or photography and being a creative force in her own photographs. Not that long ago we channeled her strengths into a unique dark edgy look in our gym photo shoot. Now we have her inner Dark Warrior coming alive! I Love It!

Lots of Thank You’s here! Blanche LeBeau for her Makeup and Hair Styling and matching the ideas with the wardrobe. Jaime Klein, a wonderful photographer himself, for hosting us at his studio. My assistant Clyde Sawyer, for doing the lifting, carrying and driving, all more important than I can tell you. And Dan Cuny of Profoto USA for loaning me one of their new B1 wireless strobes. This was one B1 strobe, sunlight coming in from down a long hallway area, and some overhead “sulphur lights”. And of course the amazing Stacey Naito, who is eternally beautiful. always fun, and built herself one rocking body! Thank You All!

An Iron Man Magazine Rising Star

An Iron Man Magazine Rising Star

Outstanding! I put this guy in front of my camera because I was sure he would be going places in our world of bodybuilding and fitness. Lonnie Teper in his current “Rising Stars” column of IRON MAN MAGAZINE was sure of it too. And if Lonnie says he is a “Rising Star” that makes it for real! Congratulations to Travis Ely!

She Started An Earthquake In Her Photo Shoot!

She Started An Earthquake In Her Photo Shoot!

The wonderful and popular Raechelle Chase from New Zealand in front of my cameras in Palm Springs. We had to put this iconic woman in an iconic setting! IFBB Figure Professional, writer, gym owner, trainer, entrepreneur, and Mom, Raechelle is one very special woman. Tough too, in our photo shoot she was buffeted by gale force winds and an earthquake. A lifetime memorable photo shoot was had by all!

Girls & Cars – Good & Bad

Girls & Cars - Good & Bad

So many photographs of girls with cars out there. This is my idea of what that should look like. Rebekah Ryan posing like there is relevance of her being with that Ferrari and in that setting. Just a long time pet peeve for me, most girls with car photos look just like they are standing there next to a car with no point to it. Thanks!

More Is Better Of Randalene!

More Is Better Of 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!
