Guitar Shoot with Dan

Dan contacted me about doing a shoot with his guitars, which was his Covid hobby. He wanted dark and moody portraits so I decided to do one light pictures with an octobox as the modifier. The client was really hapy with the images we got.

- Mark Ruddick Photography - My images are an exploration of the human body under muscle stress — understanding the body’s strength, flexibility, and power. Creating these images has given me a better understanding of the human form which has transitioned into my commercial fitness work. 

I am a London, Ontario photographer who specializes in fitness, bodybuilding and fight photography.

I love to tell stories as anyone who's worked with me can attest. That includes visual stories through photographs. Let me tell your story and provide high impact images of you to sponsors, agencies, family or just for yourself.

Portrait Session with Boxing Magazine Owner Dameon Okposio

I had my good friend Dameon Okposio come into studio to update his head shots. You can always use a good head shot for business. Dameon does a lot of seminars and speaking engagements so the pictures really support him. In addition Dameon writes for and publishes Below the Belt Magazine. We did some basic portrait work with Dameon in his unique shirts and then went on the head shots.
