A few days ago, I shared photos of my friend's pilates studio grand opening. As you might expect, a few days later, they invited me to take some photos during one of their classes. They're just starting out and needed professional photos for advertising. I was super excited and went to take these beautiful photos!
The first thing I did was take a portrait of the instructor, as if she were greeting people as they arrived for class:
Hace unos dias les compartí las fotos de la inaguracion del salon de pilates de mi amiga y como era de esperarse a los pocos dias me invitaron a que les hiciera unas fotos durante una de las clases de pilates pues estan apenas empezando y necesitan fotos profesionales para hacer publicidad, yo super contento fuí y les hice estas fotos tan lindas!
Lo primero que hice fue hacerle un retrato a la instructora, como saludando a las personas al llegar a la clase:
And in a few minutes, the pilates class began. My job was to document everything in real time. None of the people present "stopped" to be photographed, so I had to take photos while the entire class was in progress.
In these first two photos, they were stretching:
Y en pocos minutos empezó la clase de pilates, mi trabajo fue documentar todo en tiempo real, ninguna de las personas presente se "detuvo" para ser fotografiada, yo tuve que ir haciendo fotos mientras toda la clase se desarrollaba.
En estas dos primeras fotos estaban estirando:
Once the stretching was finished, they proceeded to use the pilates beds for the exercises:
Una vez terminado el estiramiento procedieron a utilizar las camas de pilates para los ejercicios:
The space was small, so for most of the photos I used a 24mm lens to have more breadth in the photos:
El espacio era pequeño asi que en la mayorias de fotos utilicé el lente 24 mm para tener mas amplitud en las fotos:
The studio is really beautiful, so there was no way the photos wouldn't turn out beautiful.
Realmente el salon es muy bonito asi que no habia manera de las fotos no salieran bonitas.
This was my first time seeing a pilates class and I must say I really enjoyed it. I hope to be able to take the class myself in the near future. What I liked most was that everything was very calm and unhurried, but at the same time, quite a bit of strength was being exerted because you were working with your entire body weight.
Esta era mi primera vez viendo una clase de pilates y debo decir que me gustó mucho y espero en un futuro cercano poder hacer la clase yo mismo, lo que mas me gustó es que era todo muy calmado sin prisas pero a la vez se hacia bastante fuerza ya que se estaba trabajando con todo el peso corporal.
At this point, I was already satisfied with the wide photos I had taken, so I decided to switch to the 50mm 1.8f lens to create a nice blur in the photos:
A este punto ya me sentia satisfecho con las fotos amplias que habia hecho asi que decidí cambiar al lente 50mm 1.8f para crear un bonito desenfoque en las fotos:
The truth is, my favorite lens is the 50mm 1.8f, BUT since the space in the studio was so small, it was difficult to take photos with the 50mm. However, I feel like I managed to get some very nice photos!
La verdad mi lente favorito es el 50mm 1.8f PERO como el espacio en el salon era tan reducido fue complicado hacer fotos con el 50mm, sin embargo siento que logré fotos muy bonitas!
Here the class was already ending and they started doing stretches again to cool down the body:
Aqui ya estaba terminando la clase y empezaron a hacer estiramientos para enfriar el cuerpo:
And at the end of the class, I obviously took a photo of everyone together!
Y al finalizar la clase obviamente les hice una foto a todos juntos!
Both the instructor and I were super happy with the results obtained that day. I hope you like them as much as we do!
Tanto la instructora como yo, quedamos super felices con los resultados obtenidos este dia, espero a ustedes les gusten tanto como a nosotros!
