This is the second time I have shot Lysa before a competition and both times were an opportunity for the both of us to try some things we have never done before with photography. Lysa as a model and me as a photographer. Last year we setup a makeshift studio in her living room with a seamless backdrop and some electronic flashes. This year we rented out a studio and had five strobes working overtime for four hours.
Here are all five strobes firing.

Here are the back three strobes only.

Here is the setup.

A big thank you to Alex at Studio Huit Dalpe (the Studio did not disappoint!) and as always to Louis-Philippe at Headshots Rentals (I’m getting the 7′ strip lights next time!).

Hi Blair…
Fantastic work my friend.. I can’t wait to see the rest. You are a truly talented photographer. You have perfectly captured the way the naked eye catches her. Most people’s pics of a body like Lysa’s don’t catch the details and the muscle definition is all washed out.
Awesome!
See you Tuesday for some muscle building of your own!
Shane
Sweet setup!
