Jarrod Lee Fitness Instructor I get a call from Jarrod Lee (Instagram) about a portrait shoot I thought ‘Well that’s something at least.” The summer was very quiet regarding work.

A very interesting person. Andrea loves all types of martial arts, and also has a really good boxing class that I now regularly attend. Going to photograph her for the magazine was the first time I met her; I would say that now we are friends. I did a variety of shots some with her…
