Manduka | Fall '23

I was fortunate to photograph the Fall 2023 campaign for Manduka earlier this summer. We posted up at some incredible locations near Joshua Tree National Park to shoot this iconic yoga brand. Temps were well over 100º so we were up early and down late in order to maximize the best light and take cover through the hot daytime hours. It was an honor to shoot for Manduka as I have always used their products for my own yoga practice. Thank you to everyone that made this shoot such a great success from A-Z.
