I am excited to introduce Mike Harmon, fitness trainer and bodybuilder. He’s also a brand ambassador for Bro Active Wear and Iron Attire fitness attire companies. I met Mike thanks to one of his generous fitness clients who wanted to help him kickstart his modeling career.
Taking place in August 2016, we shot two days prior to Mike's competition at the 2016 Wings of Strength IFBB PBW Championships Pro fitness competition in Tampa, FL. During my pre-shoot planning meeting, we chose two locations for the shoot: Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on the University of Florida campus and the Depot Avenue Trail Pedestrian Bridge (aka the DNA Bridge). Mike brought the gear and we had a great shoot!

I had Mike wake up early so we could head to the stadium before sunrise. I wanted some of that really good morning light before it got too hot. We climbed to the top of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and got some amazing shots.
We finished up the shoot at the DNA Bridge (aka the Depot Avenue Trail Pedestrian Bridge). It’s one of the few places in Gainesville that has options for so many looks.
