discipline. determination. stage-ready.

Whether you’re deep in prep for an upcoming ICN bodybuilding comp, building your brand as a personal trainer, or pushing your strength limits through powerlifting, I know what it takes to build a fitness and physique like yours. The early mornings. The structured training. The macros. The relentless consistency.

Now this is your moment to celebrate it all.

I’m Tina, a fitness photographer based in Canberra (and beyond). With two decades behind the camera and 10 years as a Personal Trainer and Les Mills Instructor, holding a certificate III and IV in fitness, I truly understand how to photograph your strength and presence. How to capture your muscle structure, lines and proportions, and guide your posing so your physique translates powerfully on camera.

This is more than fitness photos – it’s a documentation of the grit and determination it took to get here.

How it works

  • 1. Contact

    Reach out via my contact page. We’ll have a chat, see if we’re a good fit, and I’ll recommend the best package for you. If you’re keen to go ahead, we’ll book in your shoot. 

  • 2. Planning

    This is entirely custom and collaborative. Iwork with you to plan every last detail of your shoot, including location, timeline, look and goals. Need full creative direction? I’ve got you. Already got a brief and years of experience? That’s great too.

  • 3. Shoot

    Maybe it’s the perfectionist in me (sorry, not sorry) but I spend so much effort planning your shoot, when the day rolls around, it’s all about execution. We’ll make it fun and empowering. 

  • 4. Images

    When you work with me, you’re getting a high-end, professional and powerful shoot. I don’t pride myself on being ‘quick’ – but you can expect premium photos you’ll love within 1 – 2 weeks, with final edits sent 1 –2 weeks after your selection.

There are a lot of fitness photographers out there. Why should you choose me?

Hi, I’m Tina Nikolovski. Passionate. Determined. Self-confessed perfectionist.

After more than two decades of experience behind the camera, a talent agency on the side, and 10 years as a Personal Trainer and Les Mills Instructor… I get the competitive fitness and physique scene.

If you’re experienced and know your angles, I’ll work to your brief. If you’re new to competing, I’ll guide you through positioning so your physique presents exactly as it should. And if you’re feeling the nerves during peak week, I’ll make you feel calm, confident and empowered.

You’re already looking your best – but I’ll make you feel it, too.
