Weβre back with our good friend, Danielle Gertner. She's a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and the founder of The Gertner Grind. Take a look back at our favorite photos from her previous fitness and marketing photo shoot in this photo story.
Our latest fitness and marketing shoot took place at sunset in May 2017 near an old warehouse in Downtown Gainesville and at a creek in the Duckpond area of Gainesville, FL. Danielle's motto is "the world is my gym" so we wanted to feature everyday outdoor locations for her latest marketing photos to truly match her motto. We featured four different outfits and took full advantage of the setting sun.
Scroll down to see our favorite photos from Danielle's latest fitness and marketing photo shoot with behind-the-scenes (BTS) photos from our newest photographer/assistant, Lizzie Dulin. Make sure to hit ENJOY when done.
Here's some of the gear we used:
Photographers: Matt Pendleton (lead) and Lizzie Dulin (BTS photos)
Camera Gear: Canon 1D-X Mark II, Canon 70-200mm f2.8 II, Lexar 32GB Memory Cards, Spider Holster SpiderPro Dual Holster system, Tiffen UV filters
For our first location and outfit, we chose to use the mean streets of Downtown Gainesville and found a great spot near some old buildings to give us a combo of metal and brick. We started with a little clouds covering the sunset but that didn't stop us.
Danielle is wearing a long sleeve top along with Athleta tights and Nike sneakers for a great fit, active look.
For our second location and outfit, we stayed downtown and used an old brick building for our backdrop.

For our third location and outfit, we stayed in the same location against the brick wall but had Danielle change into her signature Gertner Grind tank top shirt. Midway through the shoot, we moved to the Duckpond location to get a few more shots.

For our final location and outfit, we continued shooting near the creek in the Duckpond area of Gainesville. We were fortunate to have most of the cloud cover dissipate right towards the end of golden hour.

Lizzie snuck in a few photos while she was busy taking behind-the-scenes shots. Here's a few good ones.
