Sometimes extraordinary people serve as inspiration for art and design. In this case, a magazine photospread, inspired by a group of people who's dedication to fitness and well-being is its own tale of triumph.

For the photoshoot each person was not available at the same time, so they were shot separately (by Stephen Dominick) and pieced together afterwards by me. Strong rim lighting against a black backdrop was used to give it that determined hero vibe. Afterwards, further dramatic lighting affects were added in photoshop, along with the background atmosphere.
