When Elinore of Urban Lily Yoga
(www.urbanlilyyoga.com) came to me and said she wanted to shoot her
entire roster of teachers I was excited about the opportunity to shoot
so much talent at one time. The theme? Flash dance! Awesome! I thought, a
bunch of wet yoga teachers. But that idea was scratched, for obvious
reasons, and because there was only one iyengar yoga teacher (they use
props like chairs). We went with a little more realistic scenario.
We
kept the dramatic lighting, leggings and attitude. I went with a dark
background to emphasize the highlights. A wooden floor without mats
because the reflections of color were so nice. The clothes were supplied
by Chakras by Didi (http://www.chakrasbydidi.com), a local yoga
clothing designed. We shot two nights in a row and everyone showed up on
time and were amazing. We did three poses per girl for a total of 5-7
minutes per girl so we were shooting pretty fast. We managed to get
everyone shot but we were easily staying till 11pm each night. It was so
worth it I had a blast and the girls got some great shots.
