Stunning Jess Kanstrup hit the SAF scene in a big way when she competed at her first competition anywhere, the 2014 SAF Summer Spectacular. It was there that she won the Open Fitness Model category, which qualified her for SAF Pro status. Since then, Jess has been on a force on the SAF Pro Fitness Model stage, competing in the annual SAF Pro Fitness Model Championship three times and achieving her highest placing in that competition in 2017 with a first runner-up finish. Jess’s extraordinary combination of athleticism, femininity, and beauty make her a standout every time she’s on the stage.

Due to her outstanding competitive achievements, Jess was invited to the SAF-Paul Buceta photoshoot to be part of the “Winter 2017 Collection” galleries. It was the second time that Jess has worked with Paul – the first was in 2014, after her Summer Spectacular win – who is considered by most to be the world’s best fitness photographer and has been SAF’s studio photographer since 2010. He is also the founder of and chief photographer for Strong, a print magazine that focus on women’s fitness. The makeup and hair stylist for the “Winter 2017 Collection” photoshoot was Monica Kalra.
