When you feel safe and seen, the photos reflect it.
My method is designed to get you there.
You will love my approach if you:
- Want a diverse gallery of headshots that feel authentically you and instantly create connection
- Launching something new — a website, brand, podcast, or your own business
- Work in a field where your presence matters — coaching, social media, wellness, teaching, facilitation — and want images that reflect your energy
- Want your online dating profile to resonate with the people you want to connect with
- Want to celebrate who you are right now — your age, your essence and beauty — and capture it in a way you’ll always remember
My method
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, music and light prompts, you’ll start to feel more grounded, present, and free. No skills or any experience 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, my tips and techniques to bring out your essence
Moodboard (visual concept) to bring your ideas to life. Support with your outfits
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

Why are extra portraits sold separately?
Your session fee covers the whole experience — my personal guidance and a movement workshop, tea ceremony, preparation and styling support, studio, and photography time. I include a small set of retouched portraits as a gift, and you can buy more only if you truly love them. There’s no pressure to spend extra. This approach keeps your initial cost lower and lets you decide exactly how much you invest.

About Anasta
Long before I became a photographer, I was already creating space for people to feel seen. 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.
Q & A
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 bring 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.
