After nearly 4 years of working on Painted Yoga Bodies, I’m pleased to offer a print, PDF, and ebook version of my first compilation of this collection. There are over 150 pages of printed favorites from this work, please check it out below!
Painted Yoga Bodies is a fine art photography project by S W Angelsmith, featuring beautifully painted nudes of yogis, dancers, circus performers, and athletes. It is an experiment in play, augmenting the simple elegance of yoga and refined movement of dance with bright colors and dramatic contrast. These images seek to play with the gracefulness of yoga by using the body as a canvas. The serenity, beauty, and grace of yoga contrasts beautifully with the chaos of paint splatter. The adorned body as canvas illustrates color, contrast, and texture better than any traditional canvas. The serenity and physical expression of yoga and dance brings this canvas to life.
