J.M. MANION BIKINI, FIGURE & FITNESS PHOTOGRAPHY
www.jmmanion.com

The year 2010 will mark my 25th year as a professional photographer & also my 25th year photographing in the fitness industry.  My work has been published in every issue of NPC News & FLEX Magazine since 1986.  There is not another photographer in the sport who can claim these credentials.

Due to numerous requests, I am making this information for NPC & IFBB Bikini, Figure & Fitness competitor photo shoots available at my photo studio in Pittsburgh, PA. 

The price for a day shoot is $1,500.00.
There is a $250.00, non-refundable deposit due 2 weeks prior to the photo shoot. 

This price includes hair & make-up by Amber Altany, www.amberaltanymakeup.com, who has worked with every women’s IFBB Professional who has been photographed in my studio & has done work for many competitions like the NPC/IFBB Pittsburgh Championships & NPC Teen/Collegiate/Masters National Championships.

The photo shoot session generally lasts approximately 6 hours with hair & make-up taking about 90 minutes of that time.

What to bring to the photo shoot?  The more you bring to shoot in the better. What I normally shoot are bikini's, lingerie & anything funky, sexy or cool that you really feel will make a great photo.  The goal is to try & get about 5 to 6 different looks.  If the photos meet magazine approval, they may also appear in the NPC News’ “Bikini Beach Bodies” or “NPC Fitness Corner” sections.  To even be considered for this, you must shoot in thong bikini’s.

You will receive all images on a CD/DVD with Personal Usage Rights to print & to publish online for self promotion only.  The amount of images vary but we will typically shoot between 250-300 images during the session. You will also receive two (2) complimentary, high-resolution retouched images of your choosing.

You must arrive the night before the photo shoot as we will start make-up & hair at 10 a.m.

The hotel to book your room is a 1/2 mile from the photo studio & about a mile from 2 different grocery stores. There is a gym within walking distance.  The link to the hotel;

You need to book your flight home preferably after 5 or 6 p.m. the day of the shoot. Remember we will need to leave for the airport approximately 1-1/2 to 2 hours prior to your flight departure time.
