How To Get A Sunset Yoga Shot

This Yoga Instructor Photography shoot has become iconic and I get asked about it often.

I do a lot of ‘brand photography‘ which generally involves shooting people too. While business owners appreciate the need for good images – some people just aren’t comfortable in from of the camera. I get that because I’m not – and that’s why I hide behind it! I have though, over the years, developed many tips and tricks to help subject more comfortable and relaxed.

I’ve done plenty of yoga photography. Because of the nature of the job I find that yoga teachers just ‘click’ right into the shoot naturally. Darby from Darby Yoga and Barre certainly did – she was a natural.

Getting that Iconic shot

Toward the end of this yoga photography shoot we wanted a silhouette sunset image. Like all shoots though, we were resigned to the fact that nature has to play its part. So imagine how excited we were when this Saddleworth photography shoot ended up in this way. As the sun went down we realised that the sunset was going to be stunning and I was hopping from rock to rock like an excited child.

These yoga sunset shots have now become pretty iconic which is amazing. This is in no small part thanks to Darby’s yoga prowess.
