The power of prayer

Ant is a personal trainer - I suspect that was a totally unnecessary description given his physique.

When we were looking for ways to demonstrate the results of his training we ran through a number of poses.  Some of them touched on rather cliché poses (think charles atlas) but then Ant took a pause between poses and a true moment revealed itself.

No one kicks sand in Ant's face.

Abs fab

Nothing says hard body more than a very defined set of abdominal muscles and Ant, a personal trainer, has some razor sharp abs.

As a personal trainer you really do need to live your brand - you are your product and being able to convince people of your abilities is supported (or undermined) by your own physique.

So Ant works hard (6 days a week) on his brand and clearly it pays dividends in both his appearence (but more importrantly) his credibility as a personal trainer.

This kind of physique doesn't come easy but Ant can help.

The jury is out

I love this shot - it's a very different pose and the angle of Ant's arm (a personal trainer) really shows off his shoulder and bicep.

My wife felt differently 'why is he kissing his hand?' was her initial reaction.

As I am in charge,  I'd like to think ;-),  I decided it made the cut but it demonstrated how subjective photography is and how different people take different things out of an image.

Still my wife can't be right all the time (?)
