...your thoughts?

mardiboy while you have achieved an excellent physique your Mayhem book doesn't reflect the same level of excellence in the photographic arts...

This bears witness to your dedication and is likely one of the stronger images in your book...

Albeit the background is somewhat of a distraction...

Please consider doing studio sessions which allows illumination to be highly refined and oft there are makeup artist in the mix to apply body oil which enhances sheen on the skin's surface and reveals the deep carvings in muscularity...  Have done a number of such sessions and through experience now prefer Neutrogena Body Oil (light sesame formula)

Best advice would be to enlist the talent of a commercial photographer who is competent in physique and fitness genre... Body building is a rather limited market however fitness fashion is a very fast growing market here across the pond...

Keep in mind that fitness fashion is about selling garments not the model nor the sport of bodybuilding...

Congrats on your amazing physique... keep up the good work!
