Derek Goodwin Photo

I have been creating interesting images for many moons. I have always loved photographing people. I love all of the possibilities working with different minds, bodies and locations. I believe great portraits are a collaboration, and that there is equal artistry on both sides of the camera.

I have always been interested in low light and night photography. I like the unexpected visions that appear with greater lapses of time. I love the vibrant colors that the camera sees and aren't apparent to our naked eyes. I love motion and the mysterious forms that appear out of darkness. I love fire dancers and burners and all the freaks that come out at night.

I am a Jivamukti yogi (teacher and student), and am creating a portfolio of yoga photos, in amazing locations, with all levels of yoga practitioners. I love this work, it adds another level to 'posing'. I am grateful to the pantheon of Hindu deities (all manifestations of ourselves) that my yoga photos have been published in fancy magazines and that I am able to teach and learn from everyone around me. Namaste!
