I added some fitness shots on my Portfolio https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/3714679/viewall

I'd love any feedback you have.  It was in model Colton Lee's gym, all using natural lighting from outside the big windows and ambient light above.  Composition, lighting suggestions for next time, etc.  Anything would be a benefit to help me learn more.

thanks!

lighting and focus work for me.
not a fan of the feet cut off
and he looks bored to death.

work on expression work out should have a little bit of effort to it have him blow out really hard so you get some air fullness in his cheeks and a little action in his lips/mouth

you can also use a water mister to add a little sweat or some body oil for glossy highlights on the muscles.

i like this one better but the next shot you have displayed has a much better line on the inside arm muscle. could clean that up in PS.
hope this helps

I like the better lit ones

but i think this shot has to go ( because the models head is so prominent and out of focus )
