industrialYoga – photoInspPics 01

The basic idea is two chicks (Cat and 12), dressed in industrial attire, doing yoga poses.

All shots are full body.  We need to figure out if it would be best to work with a black or white backdrop.  I’m thinking white, but not as blown out as last time.  More of a sliding scale of gray.

I’m starting out with the best set of inspiration pictures that I have. They’re both unrealistic, pose-wise, and portray women who are absolutely, utterly nude. In no way safe for work or family.

Shots not depicting yoga poses are for lighting purposes only.

I’ll break it down, shot-by-shot, as well as go over make up and costuming, in subsequent posts.

rebellion is a path

“Rebellion is not a single act, or a pose, a phase that you go through where you listen to slightly louder music and dress in colors that clash slightly more than normal.  Rebellion is a path.  It demands that you question everything–how you’ve been educated, the social structures around you, the government, the media, gender relations, what’s been expected of you by others, what you’ve expected of yourself, how you spend your time, what you consume, where you’ve been and, most of all, where you’re going.  For me, rebellion that is content only with political radicalism is missing a large part of the picture.  Any true radicalism has to extend itself to the way that reality itself is constructed.  Rebellion has to take itself all the way to to the scheme of manifestation itself, to the writing on the walls of eternity.  Anything else is missing the forest for the trees.
A true rebel has to be an artist, somebody who can not only point out the weak points and contradictions in the system, but can also propose something better, and then guard its passage into manifestation.  That, to me, means magic.  There is no I.  Slough off the skin of the self and become something greater:  I knew I could do it.”
