It seems the American culture has a tendency to obsess over large breasts or chiseled abs. But it is often a strong beautiful back that catches my eye.
In yoga we realize how much of a body’s strength comes from the back. Best of all, most exercises and yoga poses that are designed to strengthen the back also inevitably work the entire core, including the stomach.

But by using two large reflectors close to the camera much of the light is sent bouncing back towards the figure, filling the shadows, creating luminous soft gradations in the skin.
