Hey there, photo-loving friends!
Let's talk about something close to my heart: Coaching. A term I have proudly used for the past 15 years to define my approach to photography, and one that has recently been picked up by many others in the industry.

what does coaching in photography truly mean?
In a world where everybody with a camera claims to be a “photographer-coach”, let's clear up the smoke and mirrors and get straight to the heart of the matter.
When you step in front of my camera, you're not just stepping into a typical photoshoot. You're stepping into a space of growth, exploration and above all, genuine connection, much like stepping onto a yoga mat.
And just like a yoga teacher who guides you to understand and embody each pose, as your photography coach, I guide you into positions and expressions that perfectly capture your unique persona.
Teaching Skills from coach thousands of clients
Here's where it gets interesting. Did you know that I've spent two decades as one of Geneva's leading yoga teachers? Yes, you heard right! Teaching yoga isn't just about flexibility or strength, it's about understanding human anatomy, the nuances of movement, and the art of communication.
And guess what? These skills translate perfectly into my photography.
My extensive knowledge in anatomy allows me to use the precise terminology, guiding you effortlessly into poses that feel natural and look fantastic. By demonstrating what I am looking for in a picture, I ensure that you are comfortable and confident. Plus, with my years of teaching experience to thousands of clients from all corners of the earth, I can put you at ease, making the photoshoot not just a process, but a memorable experience.
Your anatomy in the best lighting conditions
Let's not forget the cherry on top! Having written teacher training manuals, including the anatomy manuals, I don't just vaguely toss around the term “coaching”. I understand it inside and out, bringing that depth of knowledge into every session, every click of my camera, and every interaction with you.
Confident and Approachable
So, when you're choosing a photographer, remember this:
Anyone can say they're a coach, but only a select few truly understand what it means to guide, support and inspire their subjects.
That’s the Patric Pop difference, and it shines through in every image.
Ready for an experience that will not just capture your best angle but will also let you discover new facets of yourself?
I can't wait to start our journey together!
Until next time,
Patric
