MAXIM has been my favorite magazine since my teenage years! I’ve always loved the information inside, the beautiful photography and the branding. I never would have guessed that I would one day be attached to the brand. When I first started professional photography, my biggest goal was to get my photos published in MAXIM Magazine. That dream came true in 2018. Since then, I have proudly shot exclusive shoots for MAXIM Magazine on multiple occasions. MAXIM has branched out internationally […]

Over a year ago, my wife Nichelle Laus and I were approached by two of our friends with an idea. There was a real void when it came to Women’s Magazines, either they were folding because of the high costs of print, or in our opinion, looked like a men’s magazine converted over to a women’s version. Nothing really raw and direct for women to read and enjoy. The idea intrigued us. Being an ex-police officer, married and doing so […]
Jana Webb, is the founder of Joga House, which teaches an exercise style which bridges the gap between traditional yoga and the biometrics of sports. She was selected to be featured on the cover of Optimyz Magazine, and was booked in for a photoshoot with us. When I sent her the details of the shoot, I was surprised to be sent a non-disclosure agreement by a production company, requesting to film Jana at the shoot for footage for an upcoming […]
HOW TO NAVIGATE COPYRIGHT LAWS IN CANADA Let’s start at the very beginning: You book a fitness photoshoot with a professional photographer. You diet, and train hard for 8 weeks. You see the pictures (which turned out phenomenally), and obsess over them. You use them on your social media pages, and blow up on Instagram, becoming an Instafame sensation overnight. A famous supplement company takes notice, sponsors you, and then starts using those kick ass photos on their social media […]
Anyone can buy a photography session. Anyone can slap on some athletic clothes and call themselves a “Fitness Model.” And (almost) anyone can develop a following of 10k people or more on Instagram who admire them for their #Fitspo or #AbGoals. But what separates the ‘Good’ from the ‘Great’? What makes one person’s photos POP, while another’s just looks like a glorified selfie? What gives someone that IT factor that’ll sky rocket them into InstaStardom? We’ll tell you… What […]
This year’s Arnold’s Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio was the 30th anniversary for the prestigious event. As usual, amazing athletes and spectators traveled from everywhere around the globe to be at this event. I had the privilege to attend the event and shoot with some amazing athletes. As the Chief Photographer for Muscle Insider Magazine, I had access to shooting with some of the top winners from the event. The 2018 and 2017 Arnolds Sports Festival Pro Figure Champion Candice […]
So You Want To Make It As a Fitness Model? By: Jaime Filer We’ve all seen the guy on Instagram who takes all his photos in front of the same gym mirror. Or, the chick that did a photoshoot in the park after her first bikini competition, and is reusing the same photos … One year later. Don’t be that guy/girl. Just as you get bored of seeing the same Insta-famous models taking the same Insta-famous pictures, so too do […]
