My lovely friend Francesca asked me if I could take some pictures of her while she was working out.  Personally, this is about the last time I'd ever want a camera pointed at me, but she just happens to look AMAZING when she works out!  I actually took these quite a while ago and never really got around to editing them.  The light in the room was so bad and made everything look yellow and it made everything a little challenging to edit.  But I finally got around to it.  This is quite different then any shoot I've done before so I'll give a few quick tips.

What I Learned
-I should've manually white balanced.  I think this would've helped offset the horrible fluorescent lights.
-We were lucky enough to be in a private gym where we could move equipment around.  I did my best to have her always facing the windows that had the most light coming through.  If we weren't able to move equipment, I don't know what I would've done!
-Fitness equipment can act as a prop! I wish I had done more of that.  I did a couple shots with weights but I think I could've incorporated equipment even more.
-I also liked the idea of getting shots of her doing interesting movements and exercises but it was difficult to do that and still get decent light and focus.
-I did think to ask her to bring different outfits and had her change part way through. I think this helped changed things up a bit.
-I think these all may have been better if she had been working out outside under natural light with prettier backgrounds, but I had to work with what I had!  I tried to clone out distracting wires and outlets on the wall here and there.
