Richard Pilnick's work has been exhibited around Europe and Asia, most notably in London's National Portrait Gallery. Richard was working as a fashion photographer when a trip to Gokarna, India, ignited his passion for Ashtanga yoga and yoga photography. After building a studio on the beach, he began photographing the series of portraits that would develop into his mission to portray Ashtanga yoga with integrity and inner beauty, and so inspire more people to take up the practice.
