PN Photo Shoot – Behind The Scenes

The Photo Shoot As Motivation

Photo shoots – most people think they’re just for models.  For people already in great shape.

But we here at Precision Nutrition think photo shoots can mean something more.  They can mean massive motivation for regular folks trying to accomplish life-changing, inspiring goals.

In fact, as part of our Lean Eating Coaching Program, we have our clients take regular pictures of themselves throughout the 6 month course.  And, early on, we suggest that they actually schedule a professional photo shoot for the last week of the program.

After that, it becomes our mission to help them get their program into shape – just in time for the photo deadline.

Amanda Graydon’s Experience

Take our very own Amanda Graydon, for instance.  Amanda is one of our PN team members.  And last year Amanda decided to get into the best shape of her life.

Now, instead of just saying she’d do it, she made herself accountable.  She signed up for both a figure competition and a photo shoot.

Well, she won the figure competition.  (Click here to check out her transformation).  Plus she had an awesome photo shoot experience.  (See the video above.  Seriously.  Watch it – it’s cool).

Photo Shoot Tips

Of course, a lot of work went into preparing Amanda for this experience.  In fact, way more than I can cover in this short article.  However I won’t leave you hangin’.

In the next week or two, I’ll post an article that Amanda put together with a ton of really useful tips on how to get ready for your very own photo shoot.

In the meantime, think about this.  If you’re looking for a little extra motivation – something that’ll help you tackle those larger than life goals – give the photo shoot idea some thought.

It offers you a deadline.  And some serious accountability.  Plus, once you get there, it’s a heckuva lotta fun.

If you’re looking for a photographer to get started, I highly recommend contacting Jason Grenci.

Starting Your Transformation

Of course, before scheduling your photo shoot, you’ll need to have the right plan in place.  So start with the Precision Nutrition System.  It’s these principles that Amanda, Erin, and hundreds of others have used to change the way they look, the way they feel, and the way they perform.

Also, if you’ve already got the PN System and you’re looking for more guidance, check out our Lean Eating Coaching Program.  This program is designed to help people accomplish big, inspiring goals – goals they might not achieve without a little help from the experts.
