I'm sure I've left a couple of things out. Costs are subject to change depending on the level of the competition and the competitor. Needless to say, "it ain't cheap!"
Keep in mind, for females, we schedule a lot of photo shoots to give our fan base the material that they request and enjoy. That's a whole other page for cost when it comes to clothing, shoes, jewelry, travel, etc. Some photographers pay small amounts while others do not. Don't get me wrong, even the photographers that don't compensate do result in QUALITY work!
Please feel free to donate to your favorite bodybuilder (male/female) as we thrive on our passion for the sport in hopes that we can achieve what the vast majority only dreams about. This is NOT an easy or inexpensive sport and the smallest amount helps.
