Behind the Lens
Hi. Hej. Ciao. Hola.
Meet Savannah Wishart – Bellingham Photographer & Primal Creative Director
I’m Savannah Wishart, a Bellingham, WA-based commercial and advertising photographer specializing in paleo food photography, primal health visuals, outdoor brand photography, and authentic storytelling for fitness, adventure, and lifestyle brands.
With a BFA in Commercial & Advertising Photography from Brooks Institute (Santa Barbara, CA, 2012), I’ve built over a decade of experience capturing cinematic, natural-light and studio work. My roots trace back to years on the road with Paleo Magazine — shooting covers, recipes, food styling, and on-location content that celebrates intentional, primal living.
I founded The Primal Revolution in 2013 to blend photography, writing, recipe development, and styling into a celebration of the full human experience: physical strength, creative flow, connection to nature, and unfiltered authenticity. With a lifelong dream to live in Europe, I immediately moved to London and spent 9 months living as an expat. Over the next decade, I traveled back and forth between the U.S. and Europe, eventually securing a self-employment visa in Sweden.
My commercial work includes collaborations with brands like Paleo Magazine (multiple covers and recipe shoots), lululemon, prAna, CrossFit Journal, and more — focusing on dynamic outdoor adventures, athletic movement, and health-aligned products in breathtaking Pacific Northwest locations like Bellingham, Mount Baker, and beyond.
Whether it’s styling paleo/primal recipes, directing outdoor brand campaigns, or creating compelling advertising visuals, I bring expertise in composition, off-camera lighting, copyright/business knowledge, and a passion for visuals that inspire action and connection.
In addition to commercial photography, I’m a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, Nordic Military Trainer, and Unbeatable Mind Coach (the first and only in Sweden, while I resided there). For self-love coaching, forest bathing boudoir experiences, and fine art nude work (including self-portraiture journeys and empowering sessions in nature), you can find more info at the Beast Goddess — where I help women reclaim authenticity through transformative nude photography and heart-centered coaching.
Why Work with Me?
If you’re a brand in paleo/primal health, outdoor adventure, fitness, or conscious living, I’d love to work with you to create visuals that spark passion, pride, courage, and that undeniable inner fire. Based in Bellingham, WA, I’m available for projects worldwide — studio, on-location, destination campaigns, ambassadorships, and more.
