Yoga Photography & Headshots in the Studio - Portraits of Yogis

Being a yoga instructor is more than just teaching class – you also are running a small business, and have to promote it as such. Yoga photography can be vital to the practicing yoga teacher for social media, a headshot for their website, or to promote a yoga retreat. Michael Benabib, yoga photographer, captures you in your favorite poses, as well as a more traditionally styled headshot to help you promote your business. 

One tip to the aspiring yogi photographer - get down low! Photograph on your belly if you need to! You can shoot yoga photography in the studio or (if weather permits) amongst nature, for a unique and beautiful full body portrait. 

The above portraits were taken in Michael Benabib's studio in midtown manhattan.

Branding and Website Photography - Why Professional Corporate Portraits Matter

It's that time again. You are rebranding your business, and now you want to revamp your website to match. You could go to a stock photo agency to find images that illustrate what your company is about, but if you really want to stand out and give yourself a unique look, it might be time to consider hiring a photographer to provide the photography for your entire site. 

Using one corporate photographer to work on the job side by side with you ensures consistency with your branding and personal image, and gives your website a cohesive, professional look that would be hard to acquire otherwise. 

Michael Benabib photographed all the images for the below site, for Dynasty Financial Partners. Note how the headshots and board of directors portrait all have a consistent style with the feeling of the site. 

 

A shoot with a professional corporate photography company such as Executive Photos NYC also gives you the opportunity to update your headshot. It's extremely important to keep your headshots updated as often this is the first impression any client or potential business partner will have of you.
