Yoga Yoga

Wow - it's been a while since I have blogged... I knew this would happen! But, I am back - at least for now.

A couple weeks back I had a chance to shoot photos for a friend of mine that is a yoga instructor. We had kind of a limited space to work in, considering the size of the room and the colors. However, I think we managed to put together some interesting shots.

One of my main goals with the shoot was to create a very athletic yoga look. Often yoga images soften down the subject in order to create a more peaceful style of imagery. But one of the aspects of the exercise I have always found so interesting is the total muscle control required to do it effectively.



In this session, we used harsher lights and tried to limit the bland background. I also focused on creating a processed harder edge to bring out the muscle definition.
