Female muscle, backstage

Some backstage snapshots. Besides "pumping" and "body painting" female bodybuilders handle their make-up, hair, jewels etc. Above all, they are women.

Tattoo Muscles -1

During NAC's World Championships in Athens, I had the chance to shoot some very impressive tattoos. Most of these images are snapshots. In this case, art are the tattoos.

Body to go!

Originally, this is from a color picture I shot back in 2003. I transformed it to black & white, modified the tones to low key, and added some color. Edited with Nikon's Capture NX2.
