Profile Information
- My Plug:
- Personal Trainer Photographer
- My BodyPROUD Story
- I have been a fashion / advertising photographer for over 25 years nationally and internationally shooting mainly ad campaigns for the major ad agencies and design houses.
I operated my own studio in Vancouver for 6 years, relocated to Toronto and shot there for 10 years .
Having aquired my green card I went to Dallas Texas for 2 years and shot for companies like Candies Shoes, Vans , BMW and a list of clients which can be viewed on my website www.johnmorrisonphotographer.com
Most everything we shot was done on location. My production company BadEngine was composed of hair, makeup and fashion stylists that I worked with depending upon the nature of the shoot .
With 20 plus years at it you get a pretty great team together and it runs like a well oiled machine.
Prior to moving back to Canada I lived and shot across the country baseing out of San Francisco and L.A. for 8 years .
Because I did so much loaction work, travelling was constant and I saw many beautiful places and experienced what life was like around this world. It wasn"t always pleasant , the things I saw .
When you are in some poor country and the makeup artist 's rate is 2500.00 a day on the shoot, models are getting 7500.00 U.S. and some local guy is eating scraps from a tourists garbage bag and dogs on the beach are literally walking skeletons full of lice and mange........ya lie in your bed at night and just stare at the ceiling thinking on those words...............here by the grace of God I go. We really do need to always keep a humble spirit and see through unclouded eyes.
Currently I am personal fitness training having completed my certification with ISSA. I shoot some projects now and again .
I train 5 days a week , separate body parts per day .
Mountain climbing is something I have done since I was 14 and the lure of the big faces and insane ridges is like a drug.
- My Facts 'n Stats:
- John Morrison 52 years old Currently residing in the ski resort town of Revelstoke B.C. which offers year round activities like mountain climbing, skiing, hiking.............
- My bodyPROUD Goals:
- I shot for Supre Tanning out of Dallas for 6-7 years and we won every award the business offers. That gave me the opportunity to shoot with male and female top models who commanded at times , 10,000.00 a day day rates .
Working with Supre was mainly all swimsuit work and we made many many amazing images in gorgeous locations.
- My Transformation Triumphs!
- Checkout my site www.fitnessfashionphotographer.com
or www.johnmorrisonphotographer.com
I am interested in shooting more material for competitors and my own website . If you want to shoot some killer images , email me and we can kick around some ideas as to what look you like and wish to put out there for your own marketing etc.
- My bodyPROUD Intentions:
- Photography and website design .
- To Become BodyPROUD, I commit to do the Following:
- To inspire folks who feel they are too far gone to ever get back into some kind of healthier lifestyle. It is also nice to be able to inspire young guys I see working out in the gym and getting nowhere because they are not focused or doing the exercises right. Having the knowledge which I got by doing the trainers certification allows me to sometimes give those folks a tip or advice that may yield them better results.
- Life Advice that Helped Me:
- Always keep a humble spirit and be courteous to others. Go hard on what you want to do but always be ready to hold a door open for someone . Life can be full of sad moments , hurts or fun moments and that is all that we really have in the end I believe.
Loose any ego .........ego is ugly and believe me I saw a lot of it in L.A.
- How I Boosted my Confidence and/or Added Joy and/or Health into my Life:
- Now never happens again ..........so rock and roll .
- Please Help ME with:
- I have always been in shape climbing and being physical but the bodybuilding bug got me about 7 years ago which I love doing . I just wish I would have started at a younger age !
When you look around and see kids who are obese it makes you wonder where they will be at 40.
I also believe you should be your best physically that you can be for your partner .
If you love someone why not loose the luv handles for them ?
Reading on here there are a number of reasons that individuals start training or getting to the gym, getting in shape etc. I want to share that making the comittment to workout and having that time each day as a lifestyle change is so valuable and it has many ripple effects on the rest of ones's life.
When my marriage of 18 years ended , the huge vaccum and emptiness that could have overwhelmed me, was filled with my starting to go to a gym and be one of those gym people . It became routine and 7pm........I was gone till 9 and that gave me a focus to keep going .
I suggest to anyone who is going through a bad period that getting into a fitness plan does wonders . It takes 3 months to see changes but soon you are excited about working out and muscles appear where you never saw them before .
- My Dietary &/or Training Routine:
- To connect with folks , trainers and models who may like to have contact with a good photographer and share fitness training ideas .
- Expressing Gratitude is a Key Ingredient to a Happy Life. I Am Grateful for:
- When my girlfriend tells me she loves me .

Im exciting to see the what changes I can create from the photo shoot August 08 of me that you did and then just before I compete in Oct 09...I hope you will be in town or maybe Ill have to rally around and get you some others and make it worth while or are you already going to be in town shooting for others? I still have your number saved in my cell..Ill give you a call about this.
My daughter who is pregnant had serious high blood pressure/heart condiition the night before the last competition and I was in the hospital with her so I was unable to get to the competition.
Give Shelly a big hug for me too!!
