Ahh, I suspected Spiderman did yoga. Great job with the pictures! Looked like it was a great experience.
Just thank you for voicing this!!! As one brown skinned yoga teacher to another. Are you on Facebook or Linkedin, I would love to connect!
I have been thinking a lot about this. I am very happy I went to college and what I learned there (majored in clarinet performance at a well respect conservatory and anthropology), but this has little to do with my professional life now. I choose a school that I had scholarships to and so had no debt, and am unsure if I would do the same majors in the current climate if it would mean high student loans. Now I am thinking about going back to school for physics, but physics is one of those majors that while you could learn outside of school, the degrees mean something in the job market. Lots to think about.
I wonder if it is because the photographers try to photograph everyone as though they are are a women that looks like a model? For instance, I think yoga journal does an awful job of photographing men and perhaps should look at some covers of Outside Magazine for inspiration. I think the old school Prana catalog photography would be much more attractive to normal people versus the current, highly airbrushed looking yoga journal. And the picture with your back turned, if taken in high detail like a National Geographic cover, people might buy. I understand magazines don't like to do this because if Yoga Journal covers ave a specific look they are easier to find. Just pointing out other magazines have different looks to their covers and I am assuming sell pretty well, so I am not sure that this is all there is to the conversation.
