Retreat Photography & Content Creation

BE FULLY PRESENT IN THE EXPERIENCE YOU'VE CREATED. I'LL CAPTURE THE MOMENTS THAT TELL ITS STORY.

You put so much of yourself into creating a retreat. The planning, the details, the energy, the space you're holding for people to come together, reconnect and experience something meaningful.

With 18 years behind the camera, alongside my own experience of facilitating, holding and attending retreats, I understand the balance between documenting an experience and allowing it to unfold naturally.

I work intuitively, capturing a considered mix of photography and behind-the-scenes video content without needing to have the camera on for every moment. I want you to feel comfortable having me there, knowing I'll recognise when to step in, when to step back, and what deserves to be captured.

I'll capture you doing what you love, the atmosphere you've created, the connections between people, the setting and selected moments from your sessions, always respecting the integrity of the space and the experience of those attending.

And afterwards, you'll have more than beautiful photographs. You'll have a collection of imagery and video content that brings people into the feeling of you and your retreat, this helps you share the work you're here to do, and gives future guests a glimpse of what they could experience with you.

So you can keep doing what you love, while your retreat story continues to be told long after everyone has gone home.

"Having Sharnelle photograph the retreat was such a beautiful, natural and effortless experience.

With very little direction or planning, Sharnelle intuitively found her way into the space, capturing the most beautiful moments while somehow being both there and not there. She moved in and out of the practices with such ease, almost as if she were a participant herself, while holding the sensitivity and awareness needed to document what was unfolding around her.

Having photographed many retreats, she has a real understanding of the moments that hold power, the softer, quieter moments, the potent experiences that we want to savour long after the retreat has ended, and those more vulnerable moments that are best left unspoken. There is a real sensitivity in knowing the difference.

Her energy is calm, safe and inviting, helping create an environment where women can feel comfortable enough to soften, open up and simply be themselves. At the same time, she gently encouraged the women to step into their own power and sense of self, offering them the opportunity to capture not just their experience of the retreat, but a version of themselves they could look back on and truly savour.

Sharnelle did so much more than photograph a retreat. She captured its essence, the energy of the women, and the magic of what unfolded in the space. I’m so grateful to have had her there to witness it all so beautifully."

"Sharnelle is a photographic genius. 

Having her attend and capture my retreat was like having a calm Queen on board. 

Not only were the photos and videos magnificent but Sharnelle is such a pleasure to be around. 

She also held a cacao ceremony and took the girls on a 1:1 self-love photoshoot which really deepened the experience. 

10000000/10 would recommend and can’t wait to have her back for my next retreat!"
