Falling or Flying? Photoshoot with actress Courtney Hope by Los Angeles Fitness Photographer Robert Randall!

Last year we had the chance to shoot with the beautiful and talented actress Courtney Hope for CW-X Compression Gear. Courtney has starred in several films and has been a regular on daytime hits such as The Young and the Restless & The Bold and the Beautiful. What we didn’t know was what an amazing athlete she was with a background in competitive dance and as a fitness instructor in Los Angeles, CA.

The photoshoot was at the stunningly beautiful Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater in Morrison, CO. As a fitness photographer, my team and I photograph world class athletes all of the time. This shoot surprised me however, in that there was really very little direction that I could give her. She had moves and grace and shapes that I’ve never seen before. To be honest, the entire shoot was me saying “try something else” and then frantically trying to keep up and squeeze the shutter at the peak moment. Throughout the day, Courtney literally appeared to defy gravity with leaps and jumps that seemed to hang in the air longer than physics should allow. It genuinely was impossible to tell if she was falling or flying.

Here is a small selection of the images that we created. You can view the rest of this campaign here.

Please stop in and see the rest of our work at Robert Randall Productions.

Fitness Shoot by Los Angeles Fitness Photographer Robert Randall

More fitness photography from last year’s photoshoot for CW-X Compression Gear

Here are some of the images from our last photoshoot for CW-X Compression Gear that we haven’t been able to post until now. With fashion, fitness, activewear and any other apparel shoot there is usually a six month to one year lag between the time that we shoot and when the line actually rolls out. As such, we have to sit on the images until the line goes live. In this particular case however, these specific pieces were never put into production so I finally got the go ahead from Karina Connelly (CW-X amazing Brand Manager) to run these shots. I am really happy to be able to finally run these as I think a few of them are among the very best in the entire advertising campaign.

This shoot took place over two days at two different locations. The first day we shot at the San Clemente Beach Trail in San Clemente, CA and on day two we shot at Tuxedo Studios in Los Angeles, CA. As always, my Southern California crew; Tom Cisneros, Matt Davis and Elleveesa rocked the shoot and made my job extremely enjoyable.

Tuxedo Studios is an amazing space to shoot at and the owners are a real pleasure. The space is huge (you could potentially shoot a semi in there if the loading dock door was big enough). They have some amazing back drops constructed permanently in studio as well as tons of empty space with some beautiful concrete floors and wall. As you can see in these images the colors in the space are bold and fantastic. A great make-up/wardrobe room, client lounge, full kitchen facilities and a great space for catering and eating with clients and crew.

One the best things about my business is that I get to work with some of the most insanely talented athletes, models, actors, stuntmen, etc… in the business. We cast from several different agencies around the country (depending on where we are shooting) and this case these gals and guys came to us from Sports and Lifestyle Unlimited. We had four talent on this shoot from SLU. Theon Holland, Francis Brower, Zachary Staben and Melanie Boykin (not pictured on this post, check our May 22nd post for Melanie).

As I am writing this, on July 22nd, 2020 Covid – 19 is still raging around the country and and in particular my home state of California where we shoot a great deal of our work. The state is largely shut down again and of course the fitness industry has been hit extremely hard. While right now we can’t get into our usual gyms and studios to shoot we are working, shooting personal work and shooting for clients outside on location. It’s definitely a great time to shoot outside and promote you brand. On all of our photoshoots we adhere to strict Covid -19 protocols.

Robert Randall Productions specializes in location fitness photography and film throughout the US, Mexico and Europe. Let us create beautiful brand specific imagery for your brand in stunning locations, safely.

Peak Performance in Fitness Photography – Los Angeles Fitness Photographer Robert Randall Productions

On photoshoots, what I am looking for is moments of peak experience or flow.  Those moments when an individual is 1000% invested in their activity and nothing, literally nothing has their attention except the task at hand”. That is “Direct Experience”and it is the driving force behind the work that we do.


“Direct Experience” is the reason I love to photograph athletes. Athletes understand total commitment and focus.  The photo shoots that we produce give these athletes both creative freedom and the time opportunity to move into a peak state of flow as we shoot.  It’s spontaneous, nothing is posed and the result are images that are powerful and authentic.


Direct Experience is also a major component of our creative process as a team during our photoshoots.  If you’ve ever been on set with me, you’d know that it’s a bit of a three ring circus.  If we’re doing our jobs right, the team is also working in a state of flow.  It’s not always pretty to watch and it can be pretty chaotic but I’ve found that some of the best ideas come from others on the set.  It never fails that when one of my assistant or stylists yells out hey… look at the light over there the whole team is scrambling over to that location and shooting frantically to capture it.  And that’s where the magic really happens. Because at that moment, the shot list goes right out the window and our team and the talent are working spontaneously to capture a  moment and you know that you’ve got it because no one is saying a word.  Well, except for me maybe because I tend you yell a lot when I know we got it!


We’re launching 2020 with a greater commitment to “direct experience” in our commercial and personal work than ever before.  What that means is pushing our creativity on every shoot. It means stretching the capabilities of our equipment and testing new ideas on every shoot. It means faster lenses, larger capture, drones, video and incredible, cinematic locations both here in the US and Internationally.


Whether you’re with a large, medium or small company or an individual looking to create new, brand specific imagery I hope you’ll come shoot with us. You’ll have a great experience!

Los Angeles Fitness Photographer Robert Randall Shoots for KEEPTIGHT GEAR in Denver, CO – REPOST

Visit us at Robert Randall Productions

Awhile back we were commissioned to shoot a new line of activewear produced in Denver, CO by KEEPTIGHT GEAR. It was a two day shoot, one day in the studio and one day in a local gym. These images are from our gym day with an amazing model/triathlete, Silvia Ribeiro. Since then, Silvia and I have worked together for a number of clients like CW-X Compression Gear and Renaissance Hotels by Marriott. Silvia is one of my favorite models to work with and is usually the first person I call anytime we need a model with incredible strength and beauty. Check out more of the work we’ve done together on my web site at: www.robertrandall.com
