What is Photo Ceremony?
The Photo Ceremony is a unique approach to photography developed by Anasta Fo. It is designed to make your photoshoot feel easy and enjoyable — and your portraits look naturally you.
It begins with a personalised movement practice and a tea ceremony — a calm, intentional way to help you feel present and open in front of the lens.
Why Movement Practice changes everything?
Feeling tense, stiff, or self-conscious in front of the camera is normal — that’s why this 20–30 minute practice happens before the shoot. It’s not about performing — it’s about finding comfort in your body and letting go.
Through simple movement, breath, and light prompts, you’ll start to feel more grounded, present, and free. No dance skills needed — I’ll guide you every step of the way using techniques I’ve developed over 5+ years of leading workshops.
This is how your photos will look natural and relaxed.
Every session also includes
Gentle posing guidance through movement and emotion to bring out your essence
Moodboard and outfit advice to bring your vision to life
My cozy studio in central London or a perfect space we’ll choose together
Your own playlist, time to breathe, and a session tailored entirely to you
About me
I create images that help people feel truly seen — and that starts long before the shutter clicks. My photography draws on years of leading movement workshops, women’s circles, and blindfolded self-expression practices. I’ve developed a unique method of posing through movement, taught in dozens of in-person and online workshops, helping people feel relaxed, expressive, and real.
Photography has been my full-time work and greatest passion since 2022. Before that, I worked as a producer and location scout, and spent 9 years as an international fashion model for brands like Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, and Chanel. I know both sides of the camera — and how to help you feel your best in front of it.
“There’s something magical about a session with Anasta! She manages to capture every moment, every smile, create something much more meaningful than just a pose. I love working with her.”
Iva, podcaster, actor
“I love them! Really beautiful and I connect with a lot of the ones here. It was such a fun session.”
Izzy, Yoga teacher

Questions and answers
What should I wear?
After booking, I’ll give you an outfit advices for your style and intention. I’ll help you find the perfect outfits — feel free to send me photos of your options before the shoot for discussion! We will also discuss that during the call for Photo Ceremony clients
What if I feel nervous or awkward?
That’s completely normal. That’s why we start slow — with tea, space to settle, and a movement practice to help you relax and reconnect. If you feel very uncomfortable in front of the camera I recommend book the Photo Ceremony — it designed in a way to help you let go and feel great.
Do you retouch photographs?
My editing style is natural — you’ll look your best because of good lighting and gentle body direction, not heavy Photoshop. I don’t do any body reshaping. I remove small imperfections like blemishes or bruises and can lightly soften skin if needed. Check out my portfolio to sense if you like my editing style!
How long does it take to get my photos?
You’ll receive your edited gallery within 7 working days
Can I ring a friend or partner?
For portrait sessions, it’s best to come solo to fully drop in. For couples or duo portraits, we can create a separate tailored session — text me to discuss.
Where will the photoshoot take place?
We’ll choose the best space together — my cozy home studio, your place, outdoors, or a rented venue (extra cost). I’ll suggest options that match your vibe and comfort. Let me know if you have any preferences!
What if I don’t know how to pose?
You don’t need to. I’ll guide you through every step with gentle direction and movement prompts that feel natural and intuitive. I’ve led dozens of posing workshops — so if that’s your worry, you’re in the best hands.
I don’t understand what movement practice is — do I need to dance?
Not unless you want to. It’s a 20–30 minute personalised guided workshop. I’ll ask you to bring your attention to different parts of your body — shoulders, knees, breath… with carefully chosen music in the background. I use techniques from my experience as a movement facilitator to help you shift into the state we need for the shoot (which is different for everyone — calm, open, confident or playful).
I may offer a blindfold to help you drop in deeper — totally optional.
Since I created Photo Ceremony myself, I know it can be hard to imagine until you experience it. I recommend watching the video testimonials to get a feel for it — and you’re always welcome to book a free chemistry call with me to ask anything.
Do I really need that much time?
