What clients say
about our fitness photography
Nik is an absolutely talented photographer! I’ve known him for a few years and love looking back at my stage shots he has taken.
Absolutely phenomenal photographer!! Very professional, fun, and some of the best pictures ever taken of me.
They did a very good job at recording me drumming during my recital — very high quality.
Artist in his profession, professional in his art! Thanks, Nik!
Excellent videographer and photographer — the way he just handles everything, at the right time and spot. The outcome of every shoot is perfect.
What we shoot
Gym, outdoor, beach and stage
Bodybuilding is our specialty. We know how to pose a physique, where to put the light so every cut reads on camera, and how to deliver fast when the show schedule is tight. Hard light for definition, soft light for portraits, fast glass for the stage.
Gym photoshoots
Hard gym light, chalk, iron and real training: physique portraits and lifting scenes at your gym or a location we scout for you.
Outdoor photoshoots
Golden-hour and daylight shoots around Miami and Hollywood, FL: parks, city walls and waterfront, with natural light and reflectors.
Beach photoshoots
Sand, surf and sunrise on Miami and Hollywood beaches: physique, bikini and fitness portfolios in warm coastal light.
Studio physique portraits
Six ready-lit sets in our Hollywood, FL studio: clean backdrops, strobes and posing guidance for any division.
Stage & backstage
Posing, stage and backstage shots with the light that shows every cut. NPC and IFBB shows we have covered include NPC Project X, Daytona Pro-Am, NPC Tahoe Show, NPC Mid-USA, Monsta Classic and West Coast Classic.
Competition prep & portfolios
Pre-show and peak-week shoots and portfolios for sponsors, magazines and social, ready before you step on stage.
MMA, boxing & combat sports
Fighters, gyms and events: fast shutters, clean action frames and posed portraits, in the gym or in our studio.
Trainers & gym brands
Portraits and training scenes for your website, social and gym walls, plus membership, apparel and supplement content.

Pre-show portfolio
