Shawn Besabella
Shawn is a marketer and fitness leader who most recently led fitness at The Assembly. His aim is to help humans live their best lives through movement. We planned this shoot at the top of Bernal Heights Park, where we could get an ace view of the San Francisco skyline.
Beyond being a personal hype man, teaching his signature group fitness classes, Shaun runs his own personal blog and was looking for an editorial inspired look for visual content to accompany his work. During our strategy call, we picked out key shot ideas that revolved around movement and staying in motion, helped pick out a color palette for the outfit choices and we were off to the races!
We focused on sticking to environmental, wide-open shots keeping his blog images in mind and had some fun! My absolute favorite photo from our photoshoot was him mid-jumping lunge. In part because the image epitomizes the feeling of motion, but also the fact that it took several attempts to get this right, making the hard work put in worth the while.
"I worked with Topher recently for my own personal branding shoot and he did a great job. He was professional, collaborative, and delivered on the outline of my own vision for the shoot. The best part is that Topher was communicative and transparent all throughout our project and he delivered the final edits on time."
