“Thank you, but your photos are too beautiful and i don’t think my form is good enough to go shoot with you”
This was a response i received after i approached a girl and asked if she’d like to take yoga photos with me.
It got me thinking a lot about yoga & photography and i feel like sharing my thoughts or at least part of them. I could be writing for hours but for now here is what i think.
🧐
I do understand that someone might feel shy or not “good enough” but please remember this:
All the people i shoot are people just like you. Yes, sometimes i get lucky and get to shoot teachers with many years of experience but guess what? They are exactly like you.
Yes they might be more bendy, yes they might have a perfect alignment and yes they can put their feet behind their head but here’s the thing:
We are going to HAVE FUN!
That’s it! Is that simple! When you are having fun, that nice picture will happen.
The focus doesn’t have to be 100% on the picture, it’s about going out, talk, explore, share, eat, drink, laugh, live and then even if the alignment is not perfect, the light is a bit off or many other little things that we could point out, if we are having fun i am sure that we will always capture that special moment that we both love and will remember.
So please, don’t think that you are not good enough.
•
You are good enough already even if all you can do is sitting on a crossed legged position.
•
You are good enough even if you don’t have that perfect “model like body”.
•
You are good enough the moment that you unroll your mat and step on it.
•
You are a beautiful miracle and that’s more than good enough.
•
So please, even if it is not going to be with me, don’t be shy to capture and share with the world your magic✨
•
You are good enough!
