Branding Photography in Brighton - Elena Gelibter

One of the things I love most about my job is that I get to meet and photograph such an incredible range of interesting people, and Elena Gelibter is definitely no exception. When she approached me last month to commission portraits and branding photography for the launch of her new HA and period recovery coaching business, I instantly loved the brief, working out in nature in one of my favourite locations to shoot locally, Stanmer Woods on the outskirts of Brighton. Elena came to her new path via an early career in global sailing championships to a MSC in neuroscience, teaching and research, all of which have been key elements to imform her approach which is deeply rooted in Science - by aligning nourishment, reimagining movement, rewiring your brain, reconnecting to nature and detoxifying home environments. It was fascinating to learn about the basis of her work and how these things impact our body and our neurology.

Elena wanted to create images centred around the natural world which created a feeling of empowerment and inspiration for her clients, and so we worked with the beautiful late afternoon light incorporating wider shots of the woodland to create a sense of space and awe.
