When it comes to a photoshoot, preparation goes beyond choosing outfits and fixing your hair – it’s about defining your vision and feeling confident in front of the camera. Whether it’s your first shoot or you’ve done many before, taking the time to practice your poses and expressions will make a world of difference.

1. Practice in Front of a Mirror
One of the easiest ways to understand how your body moves is by practising in front of a mirror. Try different poses, experiment with angles, and notice what feels natural to you. If you’re a yoga teacher or movement practitioner, think about the postures that best represent your practice. Do you want to highlight strength, flexibility, or softness?
A tip: Take some selfies or record yourself to see how you look from different perspectives. What you feel versus what the camera captures can sometimes be different, so this will help you refine your movements.

2. Define Your Message & Energy
Ask yourself:
- What do I want my photos to say about me?
- How do I want to be seen by my audience?
- What is the feeling I want my images to evoke? Strength, calm, joy, focus?
- How do I want potential clients or students to connect with me through these images?
Your photoshoot is not just about looking good; it’s about telling your story. If you’re a yoga teacher, maybe you want to convey a grounded, peaceful presence. Or, if you’re a dynamic movement coach, you might want powerful, energetic shots. Take the time to reflect and visualise the message behind your brand.

3. Set Your Intentions
Before stepping in front of the camera, take a moment to set your intentions. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and visualise the shoot going exactly how you want. See yourself feeling confident, at ease, and fully present. This small but powerful step helps you connect with your vision and show up authentically.
Your photoshoot is not just about the final images – it’s about discovering new sides of yourself and embracing your unique expression. Be bold, be playful, be YOU.
