The Blacksmith Coaching
I had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with Brooke, also known as "The Blacksmith," to visually narrate the story behind her coaching brand.
The Blacksmith Coaching is more than just a fitness service— it’s about empowering individuals to push past their limits and embrace a healthier, stronger version of themselves.
Brooke's journey from a chef to a passionate personal trainer and Olympic weightlifting coach is nothing short of inspiring, and it was my goal to capture this energy and dedication in the visuals we created.
The concept for the shoot was to illustrate the essence of The Blacksmith Coaching: resilience, empowerment, and transformation.
We chose settings that reflect both the physical rigour of the training and the supportive, motivational environment Brooke creates for her clients.
From intense weightlifting sessions to quiet moments of reflection, the photos were designed to showcase the balance of strength and mindfulness that The Blacksmith embodies.
One of the main challenges was capturing the duality of Brooke’s coaching style—intense yet approachable, disciplined yet supportive. The images had to convey the powerful impact she has on her clients’ lives, both physically and mentally.
The final images highlight not only the physical aspect of Brooke’s coaching but also the motivational and disciplined approach that sets her apart.
"I have worked with Kannika twice now and it is such a lovely experience. I use her images for my personal training business and she really captures exactly what i'm looking for. She is so patient and professional. Her work is immacule and I cannot recommend her photography enough.I will definitely be using her again for shoots in the future and recommend her to anyone that needs photos for events or their own business. 10/10 ❤️"
