I am a yogi. I am a photographer.

OmLight is the intersection.

I fell in love with photography in college. Yoga came later — in 2005, out of simple curiosity, I stepped into a studio looking to change up my workouts and found something I'd been looking for my whole life. I've been practicing ever since. I started teaching in 2010 and have been at it for over fifteen years.

In 2009, I was at a teacher workshop and brought my camera to take headshots for our website. Folks started playing around, and for the hell of it, I started shooting.

This was the first pose photo I ever took.

Then I took this one. And OmLight was born.

I spent most of my career in corporate technology — long hours, screens, the usual. A few years ago I left that behind and turned my full attention to what actually lights me up: making images of yoga and teaching it. OmLight is that second act.

The light is everything — the way it sculpts a body in a pose, the way it changes everything about an image. And the spirit supports the practice — the inner quality that yoga asks you to bring to the mat.

OmLight is the light that inspires me, and the spirit that supports me.

I'm based in Boulder, Colorado, which is a glorious place to do this work. Boulder and Denver have an extraordinary yoga community — dedicated practitioners, serious teachers, studios with real culture. I've built relationships here over twenty years of practice and fifteen years of teaching, and that community is where most of my work begins.

When I photograph yoga I'm not observing from the outside. I know what it feels like to inhabit a pose, to find the breath in a difficult moment, to arrive somewhere unexpected in savasana. That's what I'm looking for with a camera. Not the shape of the pose. The feeling inside it.
