Chris Henry Photography
Photography Services, Creative Arts Professional & Business Services

In a world awash with generic imagary, most portraits are all surface: nice lighting, forced smile, no depth. Yet I think your image should present more: how you think, what you value, where you’re going.

Working with actors, creatives, founders, and businesses, and with an approach informed by Renaissance art and continental philosophy, I make space for emotionally evocative, image-led storytelling – portraits that resonate with meaning every time they’re viewed.

Ali MacDonald
Wellbeing

I am a registered Health Care Professional, (HCPC) and Yoga Teacher.
I offer group and private individual sessions, workshops, retreats and trainings.
I am experienced working with Trauma and continue to work with Independant Foster Agencies as an Independant Panel member.

I began practising Yoga whilst pregnant with my second son who is now 24!

Coming from a background of working in mental health and trauma, I was interested in learning more about the therapeutic benefits of yoga, as it had helped me so much throughout my life. (and continues to do so.)

I specialise in Himalayan Kriya Yoga, Yin Yoga, Kirtan and Meditation.
I facilitate small groups to travel with me to India and experience directly the traditions and wisdom
that can aid and empower us on our life journeys.
We are all eternal students’ together.
