‘La Femme Physique’ by Kevin Talley

Kevin Talley specializes in photographing the female athletic form, be it ballet dancers or, as in his latest series, body builders. “I had been asked by a couple of fitness (female) competitors about shooting their photos just before an upcoming show/competition here in Louisville,” explains Talley. “Once I posted a few of them, I was getting several calls from other girls about shooting the same style photos … When you see what these girls go through to get where they are … it is extremely motivating. Fitness is what turned them around.” The reception for “La Femme Physique” will be at Seviche, with chef/owner Anthony Lamas hosting the event. All of the proceeds will go to Dare to Care.
