WELLNESS AND BRAND PHOTOGRAPHER, LONDON

Your studio deserves images as good as what you teach

PORTFOLIO
HOW IT WORKS
INVESTMENT

You’ve built something people genuinely love coming to. The classes are full, the community is real, the atmosphere you’ve created walks a very fine line between calm and electric. Now you just need images that actually show that, not stock photography of someone in mountain pose, but the real thing. Your space. Your people. Your energy.

Content that keeps up with you.

Running a wellness brand means you’re constantly feeding the machine, social media, newsletters, website updates and new offers. And somehow you’re expected to do all of that with three photos from your phone and one good one from a shoot you did two years ago.

I work with London yoga and pilates studios, wellness practitioners, and movement brands to build a library of images you can actually use. Not just a gallery of beautiful portraits, but real, versatile content – classes in action, quiet moments between poses, the light through your studio windows at 7am, your clients in their element.

Images that look like yours, not like everyone else’s.

I photograph what’s already there.

The best wellness photography isn’t manufactured. It’s noticed.

I’m not going to ask your clients to hold a pose or rearrange your props. What I’m looking for is already happening – the moment someone exhales at the end of a class, the way your regulars greet each other at the door, the quality of light in your space at the best hour of the day.

My job is to be there, quiet and unobtrusive, and to catch it. Fifteen years photographing real moments means I know how to disappear into a room. Your clients won’t even notice I’m there. The images will.

LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF

I’M ANDREA

London local. Passionate about capturing ambitious businesses.

Hello! I’m Andrea, a professional photographer based in Greenwich, South East London. My clients are all over London and the UK and I’m happy to travel worldwide.

Since I started my london photography business back in 2011,  I’ve captured a range of important milestones in my clients lives and businesses. My current passion is working with Wellness brands and retreats.

The commercial side of my business has meant I’ve worked with some exciting brands from small start-ups to international TV and fashion brands. I offer headshots and personal branding sessions and have worked behind the scenes on some incredible theatre productions.

KIND WORDS


Laura, Yoga Teacher, Movement Director

“Andrea is such an amazing photographer. She understands how to create a safe space to play, relax and capture you at your best.

I love the picture she has taken of me and would definitely recommend her.

She is so kind, calm and patient, which is great for those of us who are a little awkward and nervous about having their picture taken.”

HOW IT WORKS

01.

Let’s talk

Before anything else, I want to understand your brand – what you’re building, who you’re building it for, and what you actually need from a photography partnership. We’ll work out what a shoot (or a series of shoots) looks like for you, and whether your priority is social content, website imagery, or both. Have a read of my recent blog post which talks about why the right images change how people find you, even if you don’t think of yourself as a brand

We plan the shoot

Every studio is different and every shoot is tailored. We’ll look at your space, your schedule, your class timetable, the light – and build a shoot plan around what’s actually going to work. I can come to you in the early morning, mid-session, or at golden hour. Whenever your studio is at its best.

On the day

I arrive early, get familiar with the space, and then I let things unfold. I’ll direct where it helps and step back where it doesn’t. Your clients can carry on as normal.

04.

After the shoot

I Within 2–4 weeks you’ll receive a curated, hand-edited gallery – images you can pull from across months of content, not just weeks. If we’re working on an ongoing basis, we’ll book the next one in before you’ve even downloaded the first gallery.

FAQ

Got Questions?

Yoga and pilates studios, personal trainers, nutritionists, movement coaches, holistic therapists and massage therapists. if you’re based in London and you need brand photography that feels real, we should talk.

Yes, where appropriate and with client consent. Some of the best images come from shooting a class in motion rather than a staged recreation of one. Though happy to discuss your needs.

At minimum 60 fully edited images per session, though it’s usually more. Depends on the brief and what you need.

Absolutely, and honestly, that’s where the relationship really pays off. The more I photograph your brand, the better I understand what you need and the more efficiently we can shoot it.

I’m based in Blackheath, Greenwich and shoot across London regularly. For retreat work or destination shoots, I’m happy to travel – get in touch and we’ll work something out.

In practice, a simple heads-up to your class beforehand is usually all it takes. I work quietly – most people forget I’m there within minutes. Anyone who’d rather not be included just needs to say so, and I’ll work around it without making it awkward.
