146 || FITNESS MAGAZINE || JUNE 2015 || EDITION 1FMM: Have advances in technology made things easier? How much of your work is done in post-production?BL: The advances in technology over the last few years have made a huge difference. The cameras, the lights, the computers and software are all vital parts of the photography workflow and the things that they do now are much more advanced than ever before. I like to think that I take great shots in camera and make them better in postproduction. I think photo editing/retouching is vital to finish your work. I am not one of those people that takes a photo and turns it into something totally different. I think people that can do that are truly artists. I just don%u2019t usually work that way. My images get cleaned up though with my unique style in Photoshop.FMM: Do you have a favorite lens for fitness shooting and why? Prime or zoom?BL: I have gone back and forth with this over the last few years. I have had phases where I wanted to shoot my 85mm prime all the time and then I go the other way for a while and shoot with the 70-200mm zoom. The zoom gives you more flexibility for sure. The prime has shallower depth of field and produces images that have a slightly different look and feel to them in my opinion. They are both always in my bag.FMM: Can you tell us the biggest obstacle or setback you had to overcome in your celebrity shooting? The most unexpected?BL: The biggest setback is really just scheduling. Kari KeenanAlicia LewisMelissa Brodsky
