How to prepare for your branding photoshoot
Here are my top tips for preparing for your yoga business photoshoot to make the most of our time together.
How I practice the Yamas as a yoga photographer
I don’t think I ever expected to put “Yoga Photographer” as my job title - and yet here we are. I started yoga as a movement practice, and like many of us it became the gateway to what is now my spiritual practice. And if there’s anything to know about any spiritual practice, it’s that they are not separate from life: they ARE life. So I try to apply this philosophy to the way I conduct my life, and to the way I conduct my business. Here are some of the things I implement to work in line with my value system.
What does being photogenic even mean?
So I’ve been a yoga and wellness photographer for a little while now and I often hear people say "I'm not photogenic". It always comes back. It’s either that or people ask about their “good angles” (maybe I should do a post about that too). And I had to sit down and think about it because to me, everyone is photogenic. If you are in a photo, you are photogenic.
How to recognise your internalised fatphobia to deal with a photoshoot
We all have internalised fatphobia that we need to work on dismantling and when you are about to pose for pictures, it can manifest in many different ways. Fatphobia is damaging on many levels and working on our conditioning is extremely important to be more empathetic people and heal.When we book photoshoots quite often it tends to come up at the surface, particularly if you’ve been socialised as a woman.Recognising fatphobia in yourself will help you recognising it in others and advocate for fat people.
