After a blissful yoga class at Charleston Community Yoga in West Ashley, I walked into an alley of art that made me itch for a camera. The walls inspired me to create a collection purely for the joy of creating. Each model/friend/inspiration picked their own walls and clothing. Some requested direction and others as you can see are direction free. Collectively these women range from leaders, intuitive healers, yoga teachers, dance guides and so much more.
Polly our acupuncturist and yogi was called to purple on purple with a bindi adornment. And another black on black with a wooden bead bracelet.
Leigh founder of Empowered Minds formerly known as Yoga Kidz was pregnant at the time. She selected a mural of hands while her hands cradled her baby-to-be. Her top just happened to pull all the colors of the mural.
Gail’s honed her skills for yoga for addiction recovery and yoga for cancer. She is a bright light and brought clothing that aligned with the bird mural.
Christina’s love of movement and guide of Nia showed up ready to vogue with a rocket man mural.
And finally, our mystic and intuitive friend resonated with the wise soul.
Later I found out the project is called chART Outdoor Initiative and Gallery. Definitely worth an alley walk of this ever changing yet always interesting visual experience. You will be surprised. (*inspired images by Corrie)
Charleston’s natural and historic spaces are usually the visual draw for the majority of our clients. We partially moved the the Lowcountry for those specific reasons, so we get it. And it is refreshing to have your senses engaged by contrast of what our normal is for the bulk of our sessions. If these bold, quirky, colorful, expressive and artistic backgrounds speak to you, definitely let us know and we can craft a session that suits you.
