FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 
I own a digital camera, so why should I purchase your photos?
I have the best seat in the house - a center stage seat several feet from the stage right behind the judges table. I use high-end professional Canon cameras (15.1 mega pixels) and professional lenses which allow me to capture every single pose of every competitor on stage.
All images are taken in a high resolution JPEG format. I also arrive early to each show to assess the lighting conditions in order to properly capture the show. Our quality would be hard to duplicate. So sit back, enjoy the show, tell your friend/spouse to put their camera down, and let our crew take care of your photo needs. 
 
What do I receive in my purchase?
You will receive every single photo I take of you on stage during the competition which will include all your individual shots as well as your group comparison shots. In your individual shots, I will have your routine (for bodybuilding) and all quarter turns (for figure). The group comparisons will include all shots taken of your class during prejudging and trophy presentation in the evening show. Your digital photos will be put onto a CD and mailed out to you. You will be given non-exclusive rights to the photos so you will be able to use them on your websites and such. You will also own the “negative” so you are able to duplicate the photos to your liking.
 
How many photos will I receive in my purchase?
This will vary depending on how much stage time you have as well as how you pose. For bodybuilders, every pose you hit is captured by my camera. For figure, I will get several shots of each of your quarter turns. When combined with your group shots, the average competitor can expect to receive somewhere in the range of 40 to possibly 100 photos.
 
How long does it take before I can see and receive my photos? Photos will be posted the following day after an NPC show at www.musclecontest.com for those athletes that purchased photo services. We send out the photos in about a week after the show, so you can expect to have the photos in your mailbox within 2-3 weeks after the show ends.
 
Do you have photos from past shows for purchase?
I do have photos from previous shows, but whether I have some of you is questionable as I usually only shoot those competitors that pre-pay. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in past shows, and I can always check to see if I do have any photos of you for purchase.
 
Do you do photo shoots outside of the contests themselves?
In the past, I have done shoots outside of the shows, but due to my busy schedule these days, I am unable to commit to any further projects or shoots.
