Getting started

Hi All

I just joined the group but haven't uploaded a pic as I don't have anything relevant yet - which is the reason for this post...

I really want to get into fitness and bodybuilding photography, possibly with the idea to do it professionally in a few years.

At the moment though, I am mainly looking to learn more about this kind of photography and build my portfolio. So, I was wondering how people here got started as fitness photogs, did you just start going to shows, taking photos from the audience, moving on to getting more backstage access on the strength of those shots, then meeting some of the athletes and arranging shoots, etc?

I am a pretty experienced 'general' photographer and also worked for a major photo agency for a while, so I'm pretty OK on the technical side, it's just the 'how to get into it' that really want to find out!

Any and all advice would be very welcome!

Thank you

Duncan
