  • Action-based yoga photography: These photos capture yogis in the midst of a challenging pose or flowing through a yoga sequence. These types of photos often show the strength, balance, and flexibility required for yoga.
     
  • Artistic yoga photography: These photos are often highly stylized and use creative lighting, angles, and composition to create visually stunning images. Some examples include silhouette shots or photos with vibrant colors.

Out of this magical time in our life, we created lovely images (during golden hour) such as her Skandasana pose on the side of the Rio Grande Canyon.

Caitlin's dedication to fitness and her passion for inspiring others is evident through her Instagram posts and stories. She not only shares healthy food recipes but also motivates her followers to achieve their fitness goals. As an NPC Bikini Competitor, Caitlin's hard work and commitment are truly inspiring.

I'd like to do a fitness and lifestyle shoot!

I was recently approached by Caitlin who was preparing for a competition and needed fitness and lifestyle photos. The photoshoot took place in both gym and urban settings.

 

"Hi there! I love your work and would like to schedule a photoshoot...I'd like to do a fitness and lifestyle shoot. One scene in the gym and other outdoors."

 

We decided to have our photo shoot in the lively RiNo Art District in Denver. There were plenty of vibrant spots to capture her BoHo and Lululemon outfits. She did an excellent job at posing, highlighting her toned and muscular physique with each pose. We could have spent the entire day shooting there!

Rocking that stage at the NPC Mile High Showdown

I am filled with joy seeing Caitlin's dedication and effort culminating in her impressive second place finish in her class at the NPC Mile High Showdown. Her success is a testament to the power of hard work and determination, and I wish her all the best as she continues on her inspiring fitness journey.

 

"So grateful for the opportunity to compete at the 2018 Mile High Showdown. I placed 2nd in Open Class E and 2nd in Novice Class C. I’m super happy with the physique that I brought to the stage. A huge congratulations to each and every competitor who competed yesterday. I’m looking forward to hearing feedback from the judges and wow!"

These photos represent a different part of me

Each of these photos represents a different part of me and it’s so neat to see those aspects of my life captured in a visual aesthetic. I have spent too much of my life feeling insecure and afraid of failure until the day I decided to become the author of my own life. From that moment, everything changed.

In a way, I see that change in these photos and so if you are reading this, my message to you is to own your life. There’s never a time better than the present to become who you want to be. - Caitlin Logue

It's clear that my photography resonates deeply with her, especially in the way I am able to capture the essence of body movement and expression. It's always a joy to know that my work can touch others in such a meaningful way.

Capturing her freedom of expression with a fine art nude yoga photoshoot is a perfect way to start the New Year.

Sparkly Face Mask Photo Shoot

The year 2020 started off on a positive note, but we all know it quickly became quite a rollercoaster ride. Remember the broomstick challenge that took the internet by storm? Well, believe it or not, it led to the discovery of an alternate universe! Amidst all the chaos, I reached out to my friend Jess for some help in documenting the importance of social distancing and wearing face masks during these tough times of the coronavirus pandemic.

As a former photojournalist, capturing unique moments has always been a passion of mine. Amidst the current pandemic, I've been inspired by the creative ways artists and athletes are expressing themselves. It's heartening to see individuals like her channel their energy into creating such beautiful and powerful movements.

Yoga in her Spiritual Playground

The yoga lifestyle photo session was captured in her spiritual and creative space located in the heart of Downtown Denver. With multiple natural light spaces in her LoHi studio, the entire area basked in beautiful soft natural light, creating a truly inspiring environment.

In this session, we were able to amplify her natural beauty and showcase her impressive athleticism. Her graceful movements and form truly embody the power and sensuality of a goddess.

"I truly believe every person has a light inside of them and love that is burning
in their hearts. Yoga can help to facilitate or brighten that light and soften your
heart so you are filled with love and compassion." - Mindful Jess

3. What Do I Wear and Bring to a Yoga Photoshoot?

Choose a couple of outfits (3-5) and props that reflect your personality. Bring water and snacks to keep hydrated and energized.

Pro Tip: Choose solid, neutral, or muted colors for your outfit. They blend well with any environment. Bright colors tend to reflect on the skin. Get creative and bring a dress and a pair of jeans.

6. Should I Bring Someone to My Yoga Shoot?

Having a yoga friend with you during your photo session can be a great source of support. And if they decide to join in on the shoot, I am happy to offer a discount.

Bonus: They're really great at helping with all kinds of props and yoga poses.

7. How Do I Get My New Yoga Photos To Look Good on Social Media?

Ask your photographer to size and format them for social media posts.

Instagram Size & Dimensions:

  • Horizontal Posts (16:9) - Minimum
  • Vertical Posts (4:5) - 1080px X 1350px
  • Square Posts (1:1) - 1080px X 1080px
  • Instagram Stories (9:16) - 1080px X 1920px

Personally, I use 3000px instead of 1080px for my clients. It’s convenient to have one set of images that you can use on any platform and send to get printed and framed. However, I do keep Instagram Story Posts at 1080x1920.

Pro Tip: Be sure there is enough space around portrait shots to accommodate Instagram's crop.

Please Support my Mom's Emergency GoFundMe https://www.tonycicconephotography.com/blog/2017/12/grandmabella-needs-a-new-roof-fundraiser Grandma Bella's Fundraiser

In the spirit of giving, please support this fundraiser I set up for my mother.  She is elderly and has a hard time getting around her house. I have been working on making it more easy for her to navigate through out her home. However, my energy has now been focused on her roof and walls. There is an area of the roof and wall collapsing. The work will be done in phases. Stopping the severe water leaks from the roof if #1. Next phase, replacing the wall that has suffered major water damage. 

I am truly grateful for any help you can give. Any amount is truly appreciated.

Follow the link to my mom's fundraiser: Grandma Bella's "Get a New Wall" Fundraiser

Roof Work Progress

As you can see, below there has been tremendous progress with her home repairs.

I was looking to build a new roof. We were looking at $25,000 to $30,000 to build a new roof. However, I found a different solution for fixing the roof that will cost less. Exciting news!

Update Summer 2020: The roof no longer leaks with the help of everyone that contributed. Next is phase #2, which is fixing the wall that is damaged from years of water leaking from the roof. My mom's mental health has improved and she is much happier now.

Thank you for all the help!

Phase #2 - Fix wall (Summer 2022)

Looks like a section of wall will need to come out and a new one put back in place. Not sure what they will find when they dig into this project. We don't know if the support beams are rotted or need to be replaced.

Denver Fitness Photographer https://www.tonycicconephotography.com/blog/2017/4/denver-fitness-photographer Fitness photography is my passion

I find so much joy in working with athletes to capture their strong and chiseled physiques.  Photographing the various stages in their active lifestyle such as CrossFitBodybuilding, Aerial Dancing and Yoga.  Seeing these strong people stick to their guns and follow through is inspiring!  

Why are you so passionate about fitness photography?

People ask me why I focus on fitness photography.  Well, I almost feel that it is built-in.  Or it could be the love I have for the drawings of Leonardo da Vinci.  I have always found the mechanics of the human body to be amazing.  There is the obvious beautiful aesthetics of toned and defined muscles.  However, through my eyes, I see steam, pistons, cogs and wheels moving and making things happen.

As an athlete, I am naturally drawn to this as well.  I connect well with the fit people I photograph.  We are on the same wavelength.  This makes for an easy going and fun photo shoot!

Ready for your fitness photo shoot?

Hunter's Supermoon in Denver https://www.tonycicconephotography.com/blog/2016/10/hunters-supermoon-in-denver As a Denver, Colorado Photographer, it's important that I capture natures beauty.  The Hunter's Supermoon of October 2016 was a beautiful capture!  It was also a great way to test my new ProMaster XC525 tripod.  

The last time I photographed the moon was during a lunar eclipse in the early 1990s on top of Red Rocks Amphitheater.  My parents came along with me for the little adventure.  I'm absolutely thankful for their patience!  Anyway, I found mystic and adventure of the lunar eclipse shoot due to the fact I used film!  I  had no idea what the results were going to look like.  No experience or guidance.  Just went out there and click clicked away!  Let the drums roll.  I took my film to get developed and most of my prints looked like a darn flashlight in the dark.  Fast forward to today...well I did something right this round!

I used a variety of camera settings to capture the six moons shown in the photo.  I'm quite thankful for the age of digital.  Having live view and being able to see your results and adjust accordingly makes me do the happy dance.

Camera Gear:  Nikon D7000 Crop Sensor and a NIkkor 18-200mm lens.  Nicely nestled on my new tripod!

Amazing Outdoor Yoga Class on the Rooftop (Denver, CO) https://www.tonycicconephotography.com/blog/2016/9/denver-outdoor-rooftop-yoga-class-and-yoga-photography Yoga Classes on the Rooftop!

Rooftop Yoga Classes in Denver | Airbnb EventRooftop Yoga Classes in Denver | Airbnb Event

I had the pleasure of being the professional photographer for an amazing outdoor yoga event held in Downtown Denver. The event was organized by Airbnb and provided by WHISK, and took place on the rooftop of the Galvanize building overlooking the Platte River. It was a beautiful day filled with warm weather and smiling faces, and everyone had a great time.

The Sound Off Experience provided the music for the event, which was both calming and uplifting. Audra Robinson of Inspired Wellness was also on hand to share her expertise in yoga poses and offer samples of doTERRA essential oils. The stunning Denver skyline provided a perfect backdrop for the event, and everyone left with happy memories and big smiles.

I feel honored to have been part of such a remarkable event and to have captured these beautiful moments through my photography.

More Sound Off Yoga fun!

I'm excited to participate in another incredible outdoor Sound Off Yoga event like this one! Remember to search for Silent Yoga classes and events on rooftops, local parks, Red Rocks, and anywhere else you can practice yoga.

Not so senior, senior pictures https://www.tonycicconephotography.com/blog/2016/8/not-so-senior-senior-pictures A few years ago during our art-walk my son said, "Hey Dad! Look! Senior Pictures!" So I took the picture. Few years later. History repeats itself. Now he is six bricks tall and still not a senior.  This will be a new tradition where we take "senior pictures" at this spot.  Not sure if I want his real senior pictures to come anytime soon.  Kids grow so fast!  Which is a great reason to have annual family photos of your kiddos done.

I think capturing your kiddos in the same spot as they grow up is a great investment and a wonderful gift for your family.  I can picture a series of these family portraits on your hallway console table or on top of the fireplace mantel.

We are fortunate to live in an awesome state.  So many places to take your family or children's photos.  Let's set up a session at your favorite spot in Colorado.  We can capture some amazing memories!

Don't forget seasonal photos as well.  We have such an amazing and golden fall season, beautiful summers, colorful springs and fantastic winters!

Let's get that senior portrait or family photo session booked.  Feel free to contact me with any questions and to check if I am running any specials too!  :-)

New, affordable and lightweight tripod in my life! https://www.tonycicconephotography.com/blog/2016/4/new-affordable-and-lightweight-tripod-in-my-life New tripod in my life

I've replaced my heavy and battle worn tripod.  It has two and a half decades of history on it.  Anyway, time for a tripod that will not put a strain on me as I strap it to my camera bag and sling it around.

I picked up a ProMaster XC525 tripod at Mike's Camera after reading reviews and watching videos on it.  The price, weight and functionality is a great combo!  I have not mounted my camera on it yet.  However, I am digging the included ball head and built in monopod.

I am looking forward to shooting long exposure scenes in the city and doing some creative light effects with my crossfit and fitness photography.  Light trails and light painting are in the books too!

Update on the tripod will be in my blog and Facebook: Tony Ciccone Photography.

Enjoy the week!

Red ProMaster XC525 camera tripod-Real World ReviewProMaster XC525Yay! New tripod.

Update

Summer 2016 - I have not used the tripod as anticipated.  However, I was able to capture the beautiful southwest starry night sky in Taos, NM.  The tripod is stable for being a lightweight product.  I zoomed into the stars with my Nikon 18-200 lens and did not see any jitters.

Next up, I will take it on a hike with me hooked onto my camera backpack.  Stay tuned folks!

Fall 2016 - This tripod work very well when I took photos of the Hunter's Supermoon.  Check out the photos and the settings I used. 

Tripod shots

Here are a few long exposure & stationary shots from the tripod.  Been wanting to do long exposure shots of water.
