you may recognize Anna from a previous client project where she was dressed as a stunning young bride back in the summer of last year. this time around she changed her formal white dress for the more comfortable, less suffocating stretchy garments of colorful yoga gear. Anna is a talented, hard working yoga fitness instructor here in town and wanted to be able to showcase some of her work with some professional photography.
of course i was happy to oblige and i have to be honest in saying how easy a shoot this was. i usually have to coach my clients to pose in certain ways to make sure their best features are accentuated while deviating away from the standard elementary school studio portrait sessions. with Anna however, her poses were all unique and very natural - allowing me to just simply move my legs around her to find the composition and press the shutter button. here are just a sample of the images we were able to capture which highlight just how amazing the human form is and the skill required to manifest such beautiful poses of strength and tranquility.
please check Anna out at the hotshop at the calgary NW location where she teaches yoga and spin classes and also at studio revolution where she teaches surfset yoga. be sure to tell her i sent ya (but don't get excited, i can't get you a discount...besides - quality instruction is its own reward isn't it?)
de jesus. namaste. out.
