Bare Yoga

**Heads up, this is NSFW (Not Safe For Work)**

In the quest of fitness and strength, one crucial element is often forgotten: mobility. I can’t think of any sports that does this better than yoga, which I am terrible at (due to sheer laziness).

With that in mind and to get away for my usual sports photography, Michele and myself did a REALLY cool yoga session highlighting the limits of human capacity of staying in place while not wearing much. 

The beautiful muscle and grace that yoga produces are simply too awesome to put aside and I want to thank her for her participation in that cool little project of mine which I will absolutely reproduce with other daring athletes.

Below you will find the full (NSFW) set (last chance!)


Let me know how you like this set by commenting on my Instagram page! Also make sure to check out Michele a world traveling dancer on her Instagram also :)

Cheers,

Master The Light - Assignment 11

New assignment is in!

This month, we’re practicing “bounced” light.

Bounced light is a fantastic tool to get quick and effective light setup without too much gear. Who can benefit the most from bounce light/flash?

1) First that comes to mind is wedding photographers: Bounced light is an excellent tool to cover an event with a Speedlite. IT provides soft but effective light to your subject.

2) Tiny studio owner: Lack of space? Bouncing a flash on a wall might be the solution for you! Modifiers can take up a large amount of space. Bouncing light only requires a reflector to illuminate your subject!

3) Broke? Use bounced light! save a couple of bucks on modifiers and use the softbox made of plaster :D

4) Wanna light a background? Bounce a light on a ceiling to add a pop of light! Gels can be really useful also!

Participants have until April 30th to submit their images to the facebook group.

Cheers and good luck!



New Website

Welcome to my new website!

This has been a few weeks in the making. I wanted a simpler and more streamlined experience for anyone who visited my page. 

I hope the changes are welcomed, choosing photos that I wish to display is like choosing which child you love the most. It hurts!

But other than that,  I am happy with the changes.

Drop a word to tell me if you like it or not.


Expect a ton more content in the next few weeks so check in often.

Best and talk soon,


Yvens
