I have more images to add but I've begun work on a photo gallery titled the Yoga Series.
I loved working with these guys. Light conditions varied wildly and the series was created over a couple of months but I'm pleased with the end result. More to follow in the days to come.
Yesterday I spent some hours over at the Radiant Light Yoga Studio here in Antwerp. These last few weeks have seen me working on a new project that involves creating a series of yoga portraits. It's probably clear in the portrait below but I am absolutely loving this attempt of capturing the truly lovely yoga folk I find there.
Today was the day when I could no longer resist dipping my toes in the 'water' of this discipline that was causing me to relax even while I was photographing the classes. Today I attended my first yoga class.
My body has suffered quite some damage over the years and I was slightly concerned about how it would go, this desire to make the stiff and unbendy bits of me supple again.
I loved it and I can barely wait to return although the next few days are busy and I'll have to be patient ... so patient.
Huge thanks go to Yogalates Instructor, Lama (pictured below), for being so patient with me as she worked her way through a series of moves from her yoga practice and for permission to post her image here.
Sometimes, there is this feeling of mind-flight when I work with the camera.
It's not about me in a place, planning out a series of shots ... hyper-aware of angles and light and lenses. It's simply about turning up and falling into that space where all is obvious and instinctive.
Could I explain it to anyone?
Probably not. It's about feeling and it's mostly unconscious.
I love finding that flow ...
