Cincinnati Red Joey Votto for Mens Fitness Magazine

Intense.

If I had just one word to describe Joey Votto it would be intense. I’ve photographed a number of pro athletes over the years and Joey is easily the most focused I’ve ever dealt with. His 90 minute workout is also one of the hardest I’ve ever seen. I met Votto and his trainer Corey Stenstrup at IMG Academies in Bradenton to photograph the two working out prior to Joey reporting for spring training. The entire workout looked painful. Once Votto started it was hard to keep up as we followed him from one area to the next. The entire shoot was a one-take affair and I either had it or I didn’t with no do-overs. I think it was as hard for me as it was for him.

Here’s what Men’s Fitness published
