CoachA’s BodyBlog

So I love my hobby!  I take the photos of already well defined sculpted bodybuilders and do what’s called “photo re-touching”.  Then I create wallpapers.  It’s basically what every designer/artist does with a photographers’ pictures.  In most cases most of the hard work to make the model look fantastic is taken care of at the time of the photoshoot with the help of makeup, lighting, angles etc.  and of course a really expensive camera and lenses.  Then the next step from the photoshoot is to upload it to the computer where the designer uses Photoshop to “re-touch” the photos.  Fixing up odds and ends to make it look prestine and super sensational magazine quality takes a keen eye, and patience and experience.   It’s fun sometimes, and other times its frustrating.  I have my degree in Graphic Design so it’s something that I’ve been doing now since I graduated in 1997.  I use Photoshop CS which is an amazing tool that every designer and photographer should have in their toolbox.

Here are some examples of wallpapers I did for two BodySpace ladies:

When I’m working with models or photographers, I ask them to send me the original photos, untouched.  I also need them as high resolution, large format .jpeg files.  Then I go to work.  So far I’ve worked with Dawn Melanie, and Ivy78.  I have a few “famous” bodybuilders who I’m working with now and you can look for some new work as early as the end of this month.  So keep a look out!   I do charge a low fee for my work so if you are ready and willing, I’m all for it.
