The ‘Why’: Translating a Coaching Philosophy into Images

The core of Bruna Mathys‘s coaching philosophy is symbolized in her new logo: a minimalistic tree with deep roots symbolizing growth and grounding, representing both personal growth and the grounding necessary to sustain it. The challenge was to translate this powerful, abstract concept into a series of portraits that would communicate these values without words. Our collaborative process began with a deep dive into her coaching ethos: what does she want her clients to feel when they see her? The answer was a blend of warmth, professionalism, confidence, and serenity.

The creative direction for the photoshoot focused on capturing these qualities. We chose settings that evoked both a modern professional atmosphere and a sense of calm and nature. The color palette of her wardrobe and the backdrops were selected to complement her new brand identity, creating a consistent visual narrative. This approach ensures that each image is not just a portrait, but a piece of brand communication that tells a part of her authentic personal and professional story.  

The Photoshoot: Creating an Image of Authority
