A recent favorite shoot - fitness model from Brazil

This was a recent shoot that I was extremely pleased with. The girl is here from Brazil...

Hi Ian,

I like the pictures (both are excellent) but I have a thing against this seemingly standard facial expression of bodybuilders. It seems that they can only look angry and no other expression is allowed. Now why is that I wonder?

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

I will show you a smile on one in the next

Might not be until Friday though, I will be busy.

That's because they all suffer from 'roid rage' LOL

Having said that, these pictures are lovely and so is your model. I love to see a well defined form, but I agree with Cem there is huge potential to do a lot more with her. One of my favourite all time sets of photos are those done by the late Robert Mapplethorpe of Lisa Lyon, one of the pioneers of modern female bodybuilding. Beautiful studies in black and white which were strong yet elegant and feminine - the athletic female physique before female bodybuilders became too gristly (masculine) in the mid-1980s
