She shares healthy food recipes and 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!
Caitlin contacted me while searching for a fitness photographer to capture images for her upcoming bikini competition. We planned a photoshoot incorporating gym and urban settings to create a diverse range of shots.
"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 posing, highlighting her toned and muscular physique with each pose. We could have spent the entire day shooting there!

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

7. Choose Interesting Locations for Your Yoga Photoshoot
Choosing the right location for your photoshoot will make your session memorable and deliver the best photos representing your spirit.
Let's take a look at these diverse settings for your photoshoot:
Scenic Outdoor Spaces
Capture the serenity of your yoga practice among nature's beauty at locations like a peaceful sandy beach, a lush forest, or a quiet park.
Urban Landscapes
Showcase your yoga poses against the backdrop of city skylines, street art, and urban architectural designs for a contrasting visual of your organic lines against the urban setting's hard edges.
Home Sanctuary
Create a cozy and personalized space within your home, using soft lighting, decorative elements, and calming colors to emphasize the intimate and grounding aspects of your practice.
Photo Studio
Step into a photo studio for a creative lighting experience, giving you that professional look. A studio session will provide polished, high-quality photos for your yoga practice.
Historical Sites
Immerse your yoga photos with a sense of history and culture by practicing at iconic landmarks or historical sites, blending your yoga practice with timeless surroundings.
Botanical Gardens
Surround yourself with vibrant flowers and plants in a botanical garden, enhancing your yoga photos with the colors and textures of the natural world.
Rooftop Views
Elevate your yoga photos by taking advantage of panoramic city views from a rooftop, adding an elevated perspective to your poses.
Body of Water
Whether it's a tranquil lake, a flowing river, or a cascading waterfall, incorporating water elements into your yoga photos can evoke a sense of fluidity and peace.
Cultural Centers
Explore cultural centers, museums, or art installations to create a fusion of yoga and cultural expression, blending the physical practice with the richness of human creativity.
Fitness Spaces
Capture the strength and energy of your yoga practice by incorporating elements of fitness spaces like gyms or outdoor workout areas, highlighting the physical aspects of your poses.
8. Experiment With Flash and Natural Lighting
Natural light: Creates a soft and serene atmosphere, emphasizing the connection between the practitioner and their surroundings. Take photos during the golden hour. That is the period shortly after sunrise and before sunset. The gentle, golden light makes it an excellent time to take pictures, improving the color and mood of your images.
Off-camera flash: Helps to accentuate the contours and details of the body, showcasing the strength and precision of each yoga pose. Consider experimenting with highlights to emphasize the elegant shapes formed by the body while performing poses. You can also add colored gels for a creative and cinematic look that will stand out.
Combination (Natural & Flash): The fusion of these two lighting sources creates a soft, organic glow that highlights the fluidity and elegance of the pose, while flash lighting accentuates the intricate details and contours of the yogi.
9. Explore Camera Angles and Distances
Yoga photography isn't just about capturing poses. It's about capturing the nature of the practice. You can unlock a world of creative possibilities by venturing beyond eye level and exploring different camera angles and distances.
Low-Angle Shots
Imagine taking a low-angle shot capturing the overall detail of the pose. This perspective can empower the yogi, highlighting their strength and flexibility while holding challenging poses.
High-Angle Shots
On the other hand, a high-angle shot can bring focus to the model's face, creating a sense of calmness and serenity – perfect for capturing the meditative aspect of yoga.
Side Angles
But it doesn't stop there! Experimenting with side angles allows you to showcase the body's graceful lines and the flow of movement within a pose.
Close-up
And remember the power of a close-up. Close-up shots can reveal the intricate details of the pose, the yogi's determination, and the connection between mind and body.
Long Distance
Moving beyond close-up shots, consider the impact of photographing yoga poses from a further distance. This wider perspective allows you to showcase the environment with the yoga pose. Imagine capturing a yogi flowing through a Dancer pose on a scenic mountaintop or a serene Mermaid pose on a peaceful beach. By including the surroundings, you create a richer narrative, telling the story of how yoga can be practiced anywhere, anytime, and become one with the environment.
10. How Do I Get My New Yoga Photos To Look Good on Social Media?
Ask your photographer to resize and format images for social media or use the following chart to crop your photos for Instagram.
Instagram Post Size - Quick Reference:
- Horizontal Posts (16:9) - 1080px X 566px
- Vertical Posts (4:5) - 1080px X 1350px
- Square Posts (1:1) - 1080px X 1080px
- Instagram Stories (9:16) - 1080px X 1920px
I use 3000px instead of 1080px for my clients. It's convenient to have one set of images 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.
Now You're Ready To Take Yoga Photos
You are progressing towards taking mesmerizing photographs that mirror the enchanting images seen in popular yoga magazines like Yoga Journal and the trendy and distinctive apparel aesthetics showcased by industry giants like Lululemon and Alo Yoga. Now go and have fun!
