The Athletic Implied Nudes series is an exploration of the human body under muscle stress— understanding the athletic body’s strength, flexibility, and power. Clean backgrounds, hard lighting, and black and white photos work together to eliminate distractions and highlight the muscle groups and the beautiful body of my subjects.

Beginning with Mixed Martial Artists and Boxers, I have developed my studio photography technique to capture rapidly firing muscle groups at high speed in front of the lens. The resulting instinct for timing fight photography has lead to an ability to freeze these professional athletes at the peak of their motion. Discovering a better understanding of the human form and body types with this project has transitioned into my commercial fitness work, maximizing composition, and positioning to best showcase the human form.

I have been working on this portrait photography project slowly over the last couple of years and have met incredible people from all over. I am a photographer working out of London, Ontario, Canada and I primarily photograph fitness and fights.
