One of the things that drives us as photographers is that our work is also our hobby. We loved it before we turned pro, and we love it to this day. In many ways, photography chose us as a profession rather than the other way around. Although we need to charge for our services so we can pay the mortgage and put some bread on the table, when we notice something interesting, we just like to go out and shoot it.
Such was the case recently when Jodi came across a fabulous Yoga teacher in Chappaqua who leads classes in a yurt in her backyard. Her name is Osi and Jodi was taken with her skill, her infectious enthusiasm and to be frank, her Yurt. Jodi went back to photograph several times, made some fabulous still photographs of Osi and her students and ultimately made this little film. She shot with the Canon 5D MKII which is an incredible video camera, and the piece was cut together in Final Cut Pro. To view, click here onĀ OSI final. We’re finding that our vision as photographers, coupled with the amazing new technology of the HDSLR cameras give us new and incredible tools to expand our vocabulary as storytellers. Most certainly, we live in interesting times.
