What’s up ? This is The Stephane Andre,
The summer is here, we’re in the middle of July and I lost some weights that I gained during the winter. Every month, I track my body’s evolution with my weight, measurements and photo or video. Let’s see an example here .
Usually, I make pictures and videos on my phone. And you know, sometimes, it’s good to have them from a photograph to have better quality.
The photograph
I have a brother, Jo, who has a passion for it. Since I knew he has this hobby, I push him to create his own website to show his talent to people. For years, he learns by himself how to take pictures, videos and edit with
I see him work with Sofar Sounds, make music videos and work with local models
Preparation
To have a good condition, I decided to eat less to have my muscles more visible. We decided to have the photoshoot at 06:30 PM, so I eat my last meal at 03:30 PM.
The spot was outside of a sports center. I like to go there because there are a track and field zone, 2 beach volleyball courts and a soccer pitch.
Photo shooting session
The idea was to make images shirtless and short pants like a Fitness model. We started to take them when I was doing bodyweight exercises.
The mood was good because in some photos you can see the pain on my face during an exercise. We laugh a lot when we see them, it’s funny. Imagine you are in the middle of a movement and the photograph says: “Stop, stay right there. Look at me, now. Good, good”. After a few seconds, you continue and again, you need to freeze. Then I did classic standing and sitting poses.
The session lasts around 1 hour and a half and Jo took more than one hundreds of pictures. Now you can see which ones he kept and edited.
It was a session where we worked with the family. I have my blog about fitness and he has his website, it’s a win-win collaboration and we’ll do it more.
