Inevitably, one of the first questions many individuals will ask themselves shortly before their 1st injection is “where do I inject?” While there is no right or wrong answer, the most commonly injected muscle among first time users are the Glutes. It is a muscle group that's relatively painless...

Over the years, as I was shooting photos for magazines like Muscle & Fitness and Flex, particularly of the newly emerging phenomenon of female bodybuilding, I also saw the potential of creating fine art photos of these incredible bodies. In the many years since photography was invented, almost...
