This past month, I’ve been working with my personal trainer, Jimmy, who needed new photos for his upcoming website. I was immediately on board when he presented me with a mood board that focused on “the cool and sexy aspects of fitness and mobility.” The core themes included dark tones, an urban environment, and a certain attitude that really sparked inspiration.
Jimmy is a great source of knowledge for how a body can and should move, which feels like a refreshing departure from the industry’s typical obsession with aesthetics alone.
This project really gave me the opportunity to step away from my typical on-location work and focus on telling a story about what a healthy body is through simple details instead of a highly produced scene.
