— The brief

Cape Town has a dense, active yoga community — instructors, studios, retreats, and apparel brands, all of whom need images that go beyond a smartphone on a tripod. I've been shooting yoga here across outdoor locations, private classes, and retreats, working with practitioners at different levels and in different settings. This is the portfolio work behind that — individual sessions, group classes, sound healing, product details — shot to show the range of what's possible with a proper brief and a full day.

— The scope

Personal work across multiple sessions, Cape Town, 2026. Settings covered:

— Individual practitioner portraits and pose sequences, outdoor locations

— Small group classes, indoor studio setting

— Outdoor retreat-style group sessions, golden-hour light

— Sound healing and ceremony detail work

— Activewear product detail shots

— Beach and coastline sessions, backlit conditions

No single brief. Shot across different collaborations to build a working reference for yoga and wellness brands considering content in Cape Town.

— The approach

Yoga photography sits at the intersection of sport and personal branding — the images need to work for a practitioner's website, a brand's product page, and a studio's social feed simultaneously. I approach it the same way I approach any athletic subject: positioning matters, timing matters, and the difference between a flat frame and a strong one is usually knowing where to stand before the pose happens. For outdoor work I plan around the light window rather than fitting into a schedule. For indoor and group work the priority is staying out of the flow while still getting close enough to capture the detail shots that make a gallery feel complete.

— Delivered

A working portfolio across individual, group, outdoor, indoor, and product yoga photography in Cape Town — available as reference for instructors, studios, retreat organisers, and activewear brands planning a shoot. If you're based in Cape Town or coming to the city and need yoga or wellness content, this is the kind of work I produce.
