2008 CBBF Canadian Bodybuilding Championships
Danea Rowley - Lightweights
Montreal's Danea Rowley first caught my attention hiding under a baseball cap at weigh-ins.
This was her first Nationals, having won her class at Quebec Provincials in 2006. A bit tighter onstage
and she would have been in the Top 5. Still, a poised and graceful look about her that
the mandatory poses wouldn't be enough to do her justice. As I found out later, she's also
got a background in ballet and I'm sure her posing routine would have been a hit with
the audience! An inspiring transformation over
time to lose a lot of weight and get to this point. Fast forward a couple of days where we managed to squeeze
in a photoshoot literally on my way to the airport (and it stopped raining). Danea's mix of size, shape, strength, flexibility
and attitude was perfect for the camera :)
