The camera gear was in the back of the SUV, just in case an opportunity was to present itself, and it did. While visiting Froning, the worlds fittest man, in Tennessee, it started to snow and made for a perfect picture.
It is so great to work with Rich. Everything with Rich feels natural; even the staged shots feel natural. Rich keeps his days full, and there is no shortage of opportunities for great shots

I shot this using the Canon 7d and the 8-15mm lens. I was not happy with the sharpness of the lens. It did not even compare with the shots take with the 50mm 1.2 . I also used the Elinchrom Ranger flash and the Canon 580 EXII.
The photo shoot was quick, maybe 30 minutes long, before these fitness giants had to catch a plane back to their California homeland.
