Caught a really awesome shot of our client Greg and his new client Tripp, at an Armbrust Pro Gym Posing class back in February.
This was actually a lucky shot. I was swinging the camera and I’m lucky there isn’t any motion blur. Instead I caught a badass angle on both subjects, both dialed in to the task at hand. #awesome We were practicing the classic front-relaxed bodybuilding pose, first of the ‘quarter turns.’
Editing in Photoshop
Bringing all of this into photoshop I do my best to keep edits to lighting only. So there are no warps or distortions, that’s just what these guys look like on a random Saturday morning in February. Lighting effects include darkening and blurring the background, and adding/enhancing highlights on the models. Branding and meta information is also added (this last step is important for SEO), and the Branding was originally designed by thintank in the first place.
This is for SEO?
Yes! This type of photo is great for SEO! (Search Engine Optimization). You see, we can add all sorts of Meta Data to the photo, like location, website, and description information which will all eventually be crawled when posted to a site.
So, if you’re regularly posting a photo of yourself to insta, for example, make sure to take a moment to add it to your site! (Like I am now). This type of photo (not necessarily the skill of the photographer) is easy to make a regular part of your site maintenance since you’re doing it for social media anyway.
