One thing I am pushing this year is Photography. Since I took that stand, ideas has emerged. One of these ideas is to use photography to connect and get to know people who inspire me. I am blessed to know many inspiring people in my social echo system and this project is exciting for me because it's not just about photography, it's also about knowing amazing people and share that experience with you! Who's Bram? If you don't know him yet, he is a yoga teacher, writer, mentor and lecturer. His yoga teachings are beyond the fitness aspect of yoga... They touch the soul and you get out of the class with an open heart and the desire to be a better person... and you are. More recently he released his first book called The "Examined Life"

I contacted Bram to ask him for this shoot and he said yes right away. I was very pleased by his generosity and simplicity. We arranged the shoot to be at Luna Yoga just after a saturday morning class. When everybody left, we went back inside the class and talked a little but also just stayed there, feeling the energy that was still present
He used to be store manager at Urban Outfitters. One day, he quit because he was tired of "selling shit to people who didn't need it"
His dream was to become a yoga teacher and to connect people
So he started as a yoga teacher and then became a writer, mentor and a lecturer. More recently he released his first book called The Examined Life
At one point I asked Bram if wanted to do a yoga pose, not necessary spectacular one but a pose that he really liked
Spending one our with Bram was a delight. I left happy and energized
Many thanks to Bram for your time and insights and also thanks to Luna Yoga for letting use the space for this project
