London Fitness Photography: Personal Trainer Helen
Meet Helen, a fitness coach & personal trainer based in London & a recent photography client of mine.
Being somewhat of a fitness fanatic, I LOVE, love, love, working with personal trainers & PTs on their personal branding & fitness photography shoots. I always sneakily ask questions as I am shooting & try & pick up some hints & tips for my own training!
Helen’s Brand Story
Helen trains her clients outside in parks & gardens so we took her photos in one of the London parks she regularly uses. She wanted her images to show her exercising & training a client.
She arrived with a trolley full of fitness equipment & a willing model (aka a client!) & we set up our little park-gym photography studio amongst the trees on Wandsworth Common!
Training a client to use the TRX & then demonstrating how to do the various exercises.
The battle ropes were a HUGE amount of fun!
Boxing is a great upper-body workout. I can also see how it can help at the end of a frustrating day!
Although, I always maintain that carrying around a heavy camera bag all day, running from location to location & constantly squatting to get the best angle with a camera in my hand is a great workout & I don’t need to go to the gym to train!

Why health, fitness & wellness photography?
Simply, because it is my world.
Away from photography I run, I cycle, I lift weights, swim, practice yoga, hike & love the great outdoors.
My highlights from the past few years are climbing Pen Y Pan in South Wales, a solo camping & running trip on the South West Coast Path, running around the Peak District & exploring the Lakes. I am happiest in my running shoes having an adventure out on the trails of South East England.
Fitness is my world & I understand it in the same way that I understand my camera. I am equally happy talking about squats, burpees & which shoes are best for running trails as I am aperture, shutter speed & which lens is best to shoot your portrait.
I am also an England Athletics-qualified running coach which gives me an understanding of the coaching part of the profession.
I bring an unrivalled level of knowledge & expertise in both fitness & photography to a shoot. I also embrace complementary industries; sports massages & therapy, diet, nutrition & fuelling for sports.
I love photography but I also love health & fitness. It seems a natural partnership to me!
