Figure RX has a nice backstage feature with a photo gallery and competitor moderated forum. Here is an excerpt from Erin’s bio:
“Erin has a background in high level gymnastics, and she competed in the sport for fifteen years. At the Division One NCAA level, she was a stand-out parallel bars specialist at the University of Missouri. Erin’s years of gymnastics gave her a superb foundation for fitness, where she has become known for her combination of strength, balanced muscularity, conditioning, and electrifying stage routines. This 5′4″ beautiful superstar also balances her weight training, cardio and routine practice with her schooling, where she is getting a second degree in dietetics, and her personal training business.”
From the YouTUBE page:
While I was shooting my new documentary, Beyond the Pain, I was lucky enough to get permission to sit in on a photo shoot with the exceptional photographer Martin Schoeller. Martin is known for his portraits of celebrities like Jack Nicholson and Bill Clinton, among many others.
This day Martin was working on his latest project, a series on women bodybuilders. An exhibition of the work is opening in March at the Ace Gallery in Beverly Hills, CA. A book will be published some time after that.
Lori had backstage access to all of the competitions and was able to snap some terrific candid and unscripted pictures. Over the next few days we will feature several “behind the scenes” galleries for your enjoyment.
