While photographing BODYbyDONAVON’s Boxing Clinic in Baltimore, I couldn’t help but be drawn into the vibrant energy of the class. The intensity and pulse of the session were so electrifying that I found myself wishing I could put down my camera and join in. It was more than just a fitness class. It was an exciting experience that made the whole gym feel strong and determined. Each person’s focus and drive made for a memorable atmosphere, one that I was lucky to capture through my camera.

“Jiho loves what he does – it’s obvious when you look at his work and talk to his clients.”
Jiho is the BEST! In everything, from building my website to videotaping and photographing my fitness classes , his work has been consistently outstanding.
He is a seriously talented photographer. He is equally skilled at shooting portraits as he is with action shots, and he’s done a great job of capturing the energy in my classes.His photography has been indispensable in helping me market and build my business.
Jiho’s creativity and a sharp eye for detail set him apart from other web designers. He made my website exactly how I wanted it. It was simple, easy to use and easy for people to use. He didn’t lose style. His work is meticulous, never sloppy. And I really appreciate how he built the website to work flawlessly on any device – computer, phone or tablet. I know that when I’m working with Jiho all of my bases are covered.
Jiho loves what he does – it’s obvious when you look at his work and talk to his clients. He’s talented, knowledgeable and fantastic to work with. I’d recommend him to anyone.

BODYbyDONAVON exactly as we envisioned. He stuck with us through the design process until every last detail was exactly as we wanted it. He consistently had new ideas and creative suggestions that ultimately led us to an awesome finished product! Jiho remained unfrazzled through dozens of stylistic changes and last minute edits. He was always readily available and responsive to all of our calls and emails. I can’t wait to see his future ideas unfold as we continue to expand! Thanks!!
