I love it when I get asked to do a shoot that is a little different. Kay is a fitness instructor and specialises in aqua aerobics. We met up for our pre shoot consultation at a garden centre cafe near Gailey in Staffordshire. Kay works at Esporta in Wolverhampton and asked if we could do some shots there in the gym and pool. Ok, I’m liking it so far. Almost immediately, I could see a few ideas in my head, I was getting quite excited until she dropped the bombshell!
“I think I can get permission to use the gym, but we would have to do the shoot before the club opens. Does 5.30am on Sunday morning sound ok” Yikes!
I knew there’d be a catch somewhere, but hey, what the hell, for a mere portrait photographer an oportunity like this doesn’t pop up very often. It was surprising how the time flew by, before we knew it the club had opened and we were suddenly confronted by people stepping over us to use the pool!
It was well worth the effort and here a just a few from that session.
