A Sculptural Studio Shoot with Yoga Teacher Catherine Annis
Personal brand photography for Scaravelli inspired yoga
There's a certain kind of presence that only comes from living fully in your body, and that is exactly what Catherine Annis brings to her teaching. Her Scaravelli inspired approach to yoga is gentle, intelligent and quietly powerful. When she came to me for a personal brand shoot, she had a concept already in mind, something that represented fascia, the web like connective tissue that holds the body together from the inside out.
We built the shoot around form, light and flow rather than pose. In studio, we worked with a single length of translucent fabric, wrapping and draping it around her to create a shape that moved with her rather than around her. High key light revealed the form beneath in layered, abstract lines, echoing the same quality Scaravelli yoga asks for, strength that never announces itself as effort.
This shoot sits alongside advertising photography with Bridget Woods Kramer and movement photography with Celest Pereira in the movement and wellbeing portfolio. For concept led studio shoots built the same way, here is how commissions run.
If your practice is built on subtlety, these are the kind of images that trust the viewer to look twice. I’d love to talk.
