BIKINI, FIGURE, FITNESS, MEN'S & WOMEN'S PHYSIQUE PHOTOGRAPHY
www.jmmanion.com

I have been a professional photographer in the fitness industry since 1985!  My work has been published in every issue of NPC News since 1986, FLEX Magazine from September 1985 through June 2015 and in various other publications such as Muscle & Fitness and sister publication Muscle & Fitness Hers, Muscular Development and sister publication FitnessRx For Women and IronMan Magazine. There is not another photographer in the sport who can claim these credentials. 

Here is the information for NPC, IFBB Professional League Pro Qualifying Amateur and IFBB Professional League only Bodybuilders, Bikini, Figure, Fitness, Men’s, Classic and Women’s Physique competitor photo shoots available at my Photo Studio or NPC Photo Gym in Pittsburgh, PA. and/or Location Photo Shoots.

The price for a Full Day Photo Shoot is $1,800.00
There is a $300.00, Non-Refundable Deposit due upon booking the photo shoot. 

The photo shoot session generally lasts approximately 6-8 hours with Hair and Make-up taking about 90 minutes of that time.

This price Does Not include Hair and Make-up. We can recommend a local Pittsburgh Make-up Artist/Hair Stylist that you will pay directly.

The price for a 1 hour shoot is $500.00
The price for a 2 hour shoot is $750.00

There is a $100.00, Non-Refundable Deposit due upon booking your photo shoot for either session.  
These prices Do Not include Hair and Make-up. If shooting in Pittsburgh, we can recommend a local Make-up Artist/Hair Stylist that you will pay directly. If shooting on location, you will need to coordinate your own.

What to bring to the photo shoot? 

For Women: The more you bring to shoot in the better. What I normally shoot are whatever makes you comfortable that you really feel will make a great photo, even a more mainstream modeling look. Be sure to bring at least 1 set of ‘Fitness Wear’, i.e., sports bra, shorts, tennis shoes, etc. The goal is to try and get about 5 to 6 different looks. If the photos meet approval, they may also appear on www.NPCNewsOnline.com in addition to other fitness media outlets.

For Men: The more you bring to shoot in the better.  Bring workout and fitness wear, board shorts, jeans, jackets or anything you are particularly looking for, even a more mainstream modeling look, and a variety of shoes. The goal is to try and get about 5 to 6 different looks. If the photos meet approval, they may also appear as a feature on www.NPCNewsOnline.com. 

You will receive all images via Dropbox with Personal Usage Rights to print and to publish online for self promotion only. The amount of images vary but I will typically shoot between 200-300 images during the session. Booking a Full Day Photo Shoot means you will also receive two (2) complimentary, high-resolution retouched images of your choosing.

For a Full Day Photo Shoot, you must arrive the night before the photo shoot as we will start make-up and hair at 10 a.m. 

There are 2 hotels to book your room and each is a 1/2 mile from the photo studio and about a mile from 2 different grocery stores and LA Fitness.
