Why The Escape Artist Retreat Shoot is Different
- This isn’t just a regular gym shoot—this is a cinematic, high-end aerial experience in an epic setting. We will be shooting all of the aerial portions at the House of Honey. If you’re interested in the upgraded package, we can add in the storytelling bits around Lagos, at the beach, or at the villa itself. Our accommodation is a built-in backdrop;)
- No need to stress—you’ll have a professional team guiding you through poses, movement, and capturing your best angles based on YOUR unique styling, personal expression, and goals.
What to Wear: Outfits That Move With You
- Best fabrics & colors for movement and dramatic visual. Think functional meets fab.
- What not to wear: Avoid patterns unless VERY carefully considered. Plain colors help focus the attention on you, your art, and the setting. Let’s stay away from things that ride up the crotch, bunch weirdly, or blend into the background.
- Choose outfits that reflect your personal brand & style by resourcing Pinterest or hiring a stylist
Beauty Prep: From Stage-Ready to Effortlessly Natural
- Hair & makeup tips for outdoor conditions (windproof + sweatproof = win)
- Skincare prep for that fresh, glowy look
- The “less is more” approach to looking polished without overdoing it
Mastering Movement: How to Pose & Flow Naturally
- Tricks for relaxed hands & feet (no claw grip, no awkward toes!)
- How to transition smoothly between poses for cinematic video shots
- Playing with expression—confidence, fierceness, and soft, effortless beauty. While Lexis handles the aerial guidance, Lindsey captures the cues – we are down to help you along the way (as little or as much as you’d like!)
Overcoming Camera Shyness: Feeling Like a Star for Your Video Shoot
- What to do if you feel awkward on camera (spoiler: everyone does at first!)

- Why trusting the process is key—Lindsey knows how to capture your best side!
Pro Tips for an Effortless Shoot
- Hydrate, stretch, and get plenty of rest—your body will thank you.
- Have a vision, but stay open to magic—the best shots happen in the moment.
- Bring one or two “wildcard” outfits—sometimes the unexpected looks steal the show! Speaking of a wild card, Argie is the perfect example of this. *Swoon*
So, to sum it up real quick like,
- Your shoot is a chance to celebrate your artistry, not stress about perfection.
