Acro Yoga shoot turned into Indoor Portrait Session

My friend Rebbeca and her buddy Erika are into acro yoga. Both of them have been practicing the art for few years. They wanted me to shoot them practicing outdoors.

My plan was to shoot the girls at a downtown Austin location early in the morning. But, the weather decided to turn against us, and poured all weekend. None the less, we were able make better of our situation and do some indoor portrait sessions.

Single Source Lighting

These two pictures were lit, using a single LumoPro LP180R, using a reflective umbrella:
