I think I've gone overboard.
So you know how people do bpics, trash the dress shoots, pregnancy shoots...
I want a workout shoot. Like pictures of me running, lifting weights, strectching etc.
I can't even tell DH because he would think I'm absolutely nuts (he already thinks I love the gym more than him  )
So I'll tell you ladies instead!!

Re: I think I've gone overboard.
What exactly would you do with those pictures? I mean it sounds interesting, but I feel like its not something you could display, unless if was like an action shot from a race or competition or something. Maternity shots or trash the dress pics you can put up in your home, but I can't imagine what you might do with those pictures...

Oh I know there's nothing to do with the pictures...that why I wouldn't actually get them done. I just think its a cool idea.
I'm a little too obsessed with working out

I think it's a very cool idea. Maybe you can get someone to take pictures of you at races or something, and make some kind of collage out of them. I would defintely display something like that in my house.
And it's good to be obessed with something that improves your quality of life!!!

Re: I think I've gone overboard.
I don't think it's bad at all. You have them for you... so you have something to look back on. I did a fitness competition like 15 years ago and I am so mad that I only have a couple of pictures from that. I think having pics to look back on is never a bad thing, you have them for you, you get to see how you have changed through the years.

Re: I think I've gone overboard.
I recently did a photo shoot for a new fitness product that's coming to market in March. I'm running along side someone in some pictures on concrete so they aren't so exciting - if you styled it well, like at the beach or on a boardwalk, I could see how the running would work. If you do your own shoot, make sure you watch your face and keep it relaxed.

Re: I think I've gone overboard.
Colleen -- have you ever considered becoming a personal trainer?
I think that's something you'd be great at and obviously you love it.
In fact, this is a stupid question - OF COURSE you've thought about it.
In which case, if you did... these sort of pics would be great for a website for your services.
Or you know, you could just have them for yourself to stare at. Who doesn't like looking at pictures of themselves looking hot?

I would LOVE to become a personal trainer. I feel like I have the motivational personality for it and the passion. I just don't have the money to get the certification.

This isn't really the best certification out there, but it might be a good way to get your foot in the door until you can save up for a more reputable one. That being said, I know someone who held this cert. and trained the biggest loser contests from LI that won! She had years of experiecne at the time, but still, it's not always abotut which piece of paper you hold.

ITA! I think Colleen has the perfect personality required to be a personal trainer and will definitely be great at motivating people! She's already given me a motivational speech and it's already working.

Im so with you there...the money is the one thing stopping me from doing it! I have my spin certification but I need to gather up some cash for the training courses!

I think that could turn out really cool actually - no reason a great portrait can't also be an action shot!

Re: I think I've gone overboard.
I've taken Tae Kwon Do for years and keep pictures of me breaking boards in my office for inspiration...whenever I feel hopeless I look at the strength I had in the pic and feel empowered...i think it's an awesome idea and I bet you could get someone starting out in photography or a student to do it for pretty cheap!

Re: I think I've gone overboard.
OMG, I have totally fantasized about this type of shoot while working out. I would want grainy black and whites of me in some crummy gym lifting free weights or resting after a particularly grueling workout. Or in a boxing ring (I like to partake in a bit of boxing, but I am by no means a "boxer.") throwing a perfect punch.
For the running shots, they have to be crisp and clean. The background must be beautiful.
See how I can get carried away with this?
It's a great idea! Go for it. Any photojournalistic photographer would do this for you AND it would add to his or her portfolio.

Re: I think I've gone overboard.
Colleen you have officially lost it!
HOWEVER.... NYRR has brightroom photography come to all of the races and they take pictures of everyone (or try to) as they run by.
One of my favorite photos of me is from NYC half last year, I am running through Times Square. I ordered a few, made my dad put in on his desk at work, and I have one at my office too.
So, just run a nyrr race and then photo shoot problem solved!

 You're hilarious!! I wonder if anyone does those kinds of shots!! You should have someone take pics when you are coming through the finish line at one of your races!
