BEHIND THE LENS: ISLA GROSSI
"I just photograph the reality of what I see.
Finding people to work and collaborate with, who understand your message and essence, are easy to work with, and share similar values, is not an easy task.
Fortunately, since the day we met Isla Grossi back in 2017 when she was photographing a yoga event where we were guest teaching, there was an instant connection.
With her calm energy, sensitivity, and delicate attention to her work, we completely fell in love with working with her.
Since then, she has been the creative genius behind all our photography and videos, and many of you might recognize her for being around at our retreats, capturing beautiful moments.
“Since I was a child, I’ve been in love with capturing moments.
For me, documentary photography has always been a dream. Being in different places around the world, meeting different people and cultures, and saving those precious little moments that will give you all the nostalgic feelings of having lived through them afterwards.
It’s like an opportunity to stop time.
I feel like a space holder somehow.
Seeing yourself, accepting your beauty, understanding that we’re all so different and still the same.
“I feel that my photography helps people feel free.”
“So many humans from so many different places have passed by me with incredibly similar insecurities.
I feel that the world has imposed something heavy on us, on being human. On our image. It’s like we should all fit into something that we actually do not fit because we’re much bigger than that. They try to put us in boxes, like we should all look the same when our variety is what makes us so rare and unique.
“I think when the day arrives where the people in this world discover who they really are and truly love themselves with whatever they think is not pretty or not good enough, we will pass to another level of humanity and consciousness.”
“Real beauty’s not what society or magazines tell us we are. It is the magic we carry inside of us, and this magic can also come out in our bodies.”
It just depends on you.
To learn how to ignore the noise and dance with the right rhythm.”
Let’s say that I am a person who can help you and guide you through this beautiful dance."
