Wear Your Story is a mindful photographic portrait experience with London photographer and former international fashion model Anasta Fo. Mark Sustainable Fashion Week by wearing an outfit that has meaning to you, whether pre loved, vintage, repaired, borrowed, responsibly made or simply cherished for years. Anasta brings a warm, body aware approach to portrait photography, offering gentle direction to help you feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. Choose from a focused 20 minute headshot session or a slower 45 minute mindful portrait experience, including headshots, half length and full length photographs. No modelling experience is needed. Come as you are, wearing something that tells your story, and leave with professionally edited photographs that celebrate you and the clothes you value.
