genex magazine card promotion - model contest

[genex]

Hey everyone, people often ask about how the model on the cards we have is selected and I usually just say it's someone I pick - and I usually alternate between an fBB and fitness/figure athlete.

Anyhow, we thought it'd be cool to offer up a contest for a new face or existing person to be showcased on the next cards.

So I wanted to offer up a thread for people to submit folks - new faces - for us to nominate and then we'd select the winner. That person would get a shoot and we'd use an image from that shoot to put on the new cards.

So if you all are interested or know others who might be, post a pic of them here or email it to me and I can post it for you. Then we'll have a vote to see who gets selected from the preliminary submissions.

Thanks!

Could you add a post on here showing a picture of what the cards look like?

I haven't seen any of them yet.

[genex]

Sure thing here are a few examples (colors are off since these are CMYK for printing and not web):

[gymdiva1222]

oh whoa I'd totally be interested but after looking at those sample cards I feel like a total amateur! but I think this will illicit some excellent responses...

[genex]

Here are three shots Vicki Nixon wanted me to submit:

These were already taken by James so it might be in another category since we are also asking for new faces that haven't shot with either of us yet.

gene

[femalemusclefan]

WOW!
Vicki looks awesome! :cool:

[gymdiva1222]

has Lishia Dean ever shot with either of you? if not then I'll get a pic of her and nominate her...oh! and my best friend LeighAnn!!! OMG let me find a pic!!!

[Lift Studios]

I nominate Erica Davidson - that girl has star power written all over her!

[gymdiva1222]

here is LeighAnn...she is prepping for her first fitness show in 8.5wks...I included one full body, one quad, and one being silly shot...she has plans to go to nationals and compete so long as things go well and she gets her national qualification...I think she has great potential in the coming years in fitness...she's working with Amy Huber and Jen H now...I'm just so damn proud she finally took the leap!!!

[femalemusclefan]

Thank you for the pictures Sharon!
Leigh Ann looks amazing, great quads and abs!

I wish her all the best for the future! :)

I love the pics of Kim in the red top - any of them would make a great card.

[MsGuns]

Genex,

I wanted to met you @ Europa but someone swept you away after you was talking to Tina Chandler...its all good...one day we will cross paths again....

Great site...also pics...

Hope one day to take pics w/ u.....

[MsGuns]

i think u might like them...

[fitgirl1]

Thanks! They say blondes have more fun, but I disagree - and I was blonde(every shade) all my life until now! Anyway, I think I'll keep the dark hair for a while.

[drbarbie]

Ditto. I'm going for the dark, exotic look myself these days!

Hi Tracey!
What you have to do is type this

Then put the web address of your image, then type after it.

That's how I do it anyway, hope it works for you too! :)

[genex]

Here's Tracey's shot she wanted to post!

http://static.flickr.com/106/287013252_746672b563_o.jpg

[femalemusclefan]

That's a beautiful picture of a very beautiful woman! :)
I love the vascularity on Tracey's abs! :cool:

[fit2at]

You are a photo and web MASTER!! See you in Dec.

[dalberton]

Oh my -- Tracey, that photo stopped me dead in my tracks.

[fit2at]

I'll take that as a compliment... That was the FIRST shoot I have ever done not in "bathing suits".... SO I WAS A BIT SKETCHY. Of course, shooting w Gene is so easy anyway, it wasn't as scary as I thought it'd be!!

[dalberton]

I'll take that as a compliment...
Absolutely. To this day, I think the physique you presented at the 2005 Canadian Nationals is about the best I've ever seen at a fitness competition anywhere. Ever since then, I look forward to any of your contest appearances or new photo shoots.

Black-and-white photography was a great move ... you've got detail for days, and the high contrast makes your vascularity and muscular separation all the more prominent.

[genex]

Jennifer Myers asked me to post a few shots of her here:

Very nice pictures Gene, thanks!
Jennifer looks in superb condition! :)

[drbarbie]

Wow! Great pictures Gene! She has great arms & her shoulders are superb. Very nice.

[diggs]

http://static.flickr.com/106/287013252_746672b563_o.jpg

The beauty of figuring out which model to use is that with dozens and dozens of gorgeous women in the industry now, you almost can't go wrong.

I would definitely cast my vote for this pic of Tracey (and similarly for the b&w hair play pic of Jen Abrams on page 2 of this thread) because her posture is very fluid and dynamic, not rigid like a compulsory pose. It's going to set the typography off better. Choosing b&w photos was a coincidence but actually, if you print those in "superblack" and then add a little color to the drop shadows in your type, it would look pretty stylish.

[Eddie]

Hey Gene

Has this contest reached an end yet...or are you still trying to decide?

[genex]

Nope it's been finished for this round...

[Duckbump]

Who did the judging? You should have had a poll and let us vote.....unless you did and I missed it. :confused:

[fit2at]

I had big hopes at the beginning of the year of doing the ironman and the arnold before Nationals, but the weird things get get in the way of your workouts.... YOu know what I am talking about.... Moving, divorce, new job....Anyway, I am sure you had fun and I PROMISE I will blow you away at Canadians in July.... They want a hard"BB" look, I am going to bring it.... LOL tmac

[dalberton]

Hope the prep is going well, and best of luck! You bringing a hard look is going to be pure gold.

[fit2at]
