WBF - Silverstar Casino

Did a shoot at one of the World Bodybuilder Federation’s comps at Silverstar Casino, Mulderstrift. Thanks Richard (SnapAfrica) and Chaz (EVOX) for the opportunity! Thanks also to Vanessa (Silverstar) for your hospitality and Andre (SilverStar) for your teams eagle eyes!

I setup a mini-studio with backdrop, strobes, off camera flash, triggers and umbrella to shoot some of the contestants full length as well as a few stage shots from a distance. Here are a few shots of these sculpted athletes. Note: They are very bronzed thanks to the special gold cream they use all over their bodies. Not because of gold umbrellas!

I’ve recently started taking part in camera clubs again. The last time was probably in the mid ’80s! This shoot will be for Camera Café or IPIP or both.

It seems that with the age of digital a lot more people are in the game, and what’s especially great to see is youngsters out there shooting some amazing work as well. Here’s a pic I am working on for the next submission. Reasonable but the composition is off, especially the 2nd smaller twig in the BG, so I doubt I’ll submit this. I’ll do another this w/e before the tree sheds it’s flowers. I have one week window each year with this tree before the petals fall…

Shot with the Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 EX DG for Nikon.
