Sports Photography

Grand Prix of Long Beach

Chris Esslinger
Director of Communications

John has worked for the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach for the past decade and has provided us with thousands of high-quality photos – racing and non-racing – for use in our collateral materials and website. I would highly recommend John for any and all photographic needs.

The Grand Prix of Long Beach is one of the longest continuously-running events in Indy car racing and is considered one of the most prestigious events on the circuit. Christopher Pook is the founder of the event. It was the premier race on the CART/Champ Car calendar from 1996 to 2008, and the 2008 race was the final Champ Car series race prior to the formal unification and end of the open-wheel “split” between CART and IRL. Since 2009, the race has been part of the unified IndyCar Series.

It is such a privilege to have John Bosma photograph our events at the ALS Association Golden West Chapter.

As a non-profit organization, it’s crucial for people to understand the importance of these events and John’s photography helps shine a light on our vision: creating a world without ALS.

Daniel Wu

Code 3 Athletics / Event Photography

John’s contribution as Code 3’s staff photographer since 2012 has been instrumental in our gym’s success over the years. His fine attention to detail, tireless work ethic, and artistic eye for capturing the drama and action of human movement has helped us showcase our facility, competitions, and members, and build a reputation of quality and consistency. John brings a ‘fine arts” style of

shooting to the CrossFit community, and his work stands out starkly against the iPhone pictures or overly edited work that most people are used to. His masterful use of lighting is especially apparent in his event photos, and the quality of his work is immediately noticeable by all. He manages projects solely from start to finish, including collaborating on venue design and lighting, equipment set up, shooting, and editing. John has proven time and time again that he is able to take an idea and execute it at the highest of levels. He stays on top of all of our events, traveling to local and national competitions in order to get the job done.

Daniel Wu is the Co-owner of Code 3 Athletics in Los Angeles and a Firefighter/Paramedic. After having operated as CrossFit Code 3 since its inception back in 2011, the expansion to Code 3 Athletics in 2014 positioned Code 3 as a “next-generation” fitness facility and leader in elite fitness training. Daniel has steered both the rebranding and the programming transitions at Code 3. The Code 3 logo has become one of the most recognizable brands in the CrossFit community, with thousands of shirts, hats, and other forms of apparel sold worldwide. Having a comprehensive media strategy has been an essential element of rebranding Code 3, and Daniel and I continue to develop creative ways of lighting/shooting events, high-quality promotional materials, and innovative media campaigns. Daniel’s willingness to experiment with photographic techniques and lighting methods – even turning the entire gym into a gigantic studio – has been amazing.

Battleground Events / Event Photography

I’ve been organizing and promoting fitness competitions for the past 7 years. Four words that best describe John Bosma and JBX Media are “best in the business”. The only thing better than John’s eye for the shot is his huge heart for our events – especially our Train 4 Autism hosted in April. John is a great guy, a fantastic photographer, and a quality person in our community. I can’t thank him enough.

Battleground Events has been promoting friendly, beginner-focused fitness competitions to Rx, Intermediate, Beginner, Masters, and Special Needs Teams the past six years. In addition to including adaptive athletes in their FALLOUT event, proceeds from the Battleground SoCal charity fitness competition benefit the Train 4 Autism Foundation’s CrossFit for Special Needs Program.

Jamie Hagiya

Professional Athlete / NCAA & CrossFit

I’ve had the pleasure of working with John Bosma on numerous occasions. We’ve done multiple photo shoots together and whether it’s been for business, CrossFit competitions, or lifestyle photos, the quality of his work says it all. You can see his love and passion for photography in every photo captured. One of the BEST in the business, he’s innovative, fun, a master of his craft, but most importantly

professional in every sense of the word. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He has helped develop my personal and professional brand in a huge way, and I can’t say enough good things about his photography and him as a person!

Jamie Hagiya is a competitive CrossFit athlete and Co-owner of Torrance Training Lab in Torrance California. A former collegiate and professional basketball player at the University of Southern California (USC), she helped lead her USC team to two NCAA appearances, finishing her career 4th all-time in assists and 2nd all-time in 3-point field goals made, before going on to play professionally in Greece and Spain. Jamie started CrossFit in 2011 and has ranked in the top five in the very competitive Southern California region the past several years and made it to the CrossFit Games two years. Jamie also runs a series of basketball camps for youth focused on developing/enhancing individual basketball skills with current and former college and professional players. In 2014, Jamie suffered a devastating physical injury that could have ended her athletic career. While many of her contemporaries spent the entire year training for the 2015 CrossFit Games Open, Jamie had less than two months to train and stunned many in the CrossFit community with her 5th place finish in the 2015 SoCal Women’s Individual.

Website Design & Development

Code 3 Athletics

The fitness industry has evolved dramatically over the last decade, and I’ve always taken pride in my gym being one step ahead of the curve. I began working with John on ways to update our website and online presence, and it quickly became obvious that we’d need a complete overhaul to truly fit our needs.

We started from scratch, brainstorming the key messages I wanted to convey, both visually and through text. I wanted a simple, easy to navigate interface, and John designed a layout that was clear and concise. We shot all new images and displayed them prominently on each page. John also optimized our new website with the most current SEO to maximize our reach both locally and beyond.

The final product was a collaborative effort that communicated our message and services quickly and clearly to prospective members. The results speak for themselves – more web traffic, an uptick in phone/email inquiries, and ultimately an increase in member sign-ups and overall revenue.

CrossFit BPM

Working with John and JBX Media was an absolute blessing. Before we got started, he made sure to sit down with me and ask what I really wanted to see on the site. He returned a week later with suggestions and even a competitive analysis. Very professional and fun to work with. Traffic and clickthrough within the site has increased drastically since making the change.
