Riji

Riji is a dear, close friend of mine. She's a yogini, an actress, a model, a fierce woman, and an open-hearted person.
Riji and I had the idea to photograph her in different yoga poses in beautiful spots around the island of Oahu. We got quite a few shots of the poses, and also a bunch of Riji simply looking beautiful, modeling different outfits or simply being herself.
Last year, Riji moved back home to NY to be closer to her family, so our shoots have been on hold, but I just found out this morning that she's planning a 3 week trip to Hawaii at the end of August. We have plans to collaborate again and I'll be sure to post images from that shoot.
Enjoy!
