Elisa Devlin
Yoga Interview, London, UK
I'm quite a charmer when it comes to the weather, with help of my angel I managed to stay dry in the hardest winter, bring sun and warm to where there was cold and wet, but when it come to life especially to yoga - Flexibility is at is essence, not of body but of mind.
The first location me and Elisa choose to do the yoga photography session was in Hampstead

heath, a big park with lakes, some woods and lots of green with the amazing view of London spread out at the distance.. it did rain after all on that day although I promised it wouldn't so we went to Camden Town Stables market, something quite magical for me in that location personally, it was a place I visited every day for 2 month when I just moved to London and it's vibes still hold me strong.
I had lots of fun taking photos in the market and I hope it shows in the photos of Elisa which has kindly agreed to answer my questions
