This post has been in the works for some time now. Not sure on the reason. I wanted to make sure it was up to the scratch of Lisa. I know she’s a bit of a perfectionist at times. I suppose you would have to be when you have to dedicate yourself, both mind and body, to such a rigourous schedule as she does week in week out.

This shoot I did back in March 2008 with Lisa who was the WFF Miss Universe 2007. Not to put it lightly, she was a superstar. For such a well known person in her own right, she allowed me to do my thing.

For the shoot we ended up at Athletique Gym. Nothing was too hard for these folks either. Here I was running power cables and light boxes all over the place. I was the messy one!

We eased into the morning – well I certainly did. Lisa went and did some light weights to get herself ready. She certainly made me look lazy (did I say ‘fat?’). This went really well. We had a few costume changes, but in all the shoot was perfect.

As for the lighting, I turned off all the heads and used the huge windows that were in the free weights area. This made for a fantastic glow over her and certainly made it very easy for me. You can never beat a perfectly lit window on a fantastic subject.

Awesome arms!

Strike a pose!

To round off this post, here is a video of Lisa competing.

From all of us at Blinq Photography, we wish her well in 2009 and look forward to seeing her back in Australia – and maybe another photo session (hint hint!). And a little birdie tells me that she is currently the be placed Aussie female – congrats.
