My most famous physique athlete client to date is nationally ranked, NPC super heavyweight competitor Ryan Watson. I’ve had the privilege of photographing this phenomenal athlete four times on location over the past year. I am really proud of the work I’ve done with Ryan.” Photographing the competitions is also how Kelvin became affiliated with www.northamericanbodies.com.
