Krish - New York

New York - June 2022

I met Krish while visiting the Alex Webb x Yves Saint Laurent exhibition in Madison Square Park.
Krish lives in Mumbai but comes to NYC often to work as a model.
He saw me with my camera, we chatted and he proposed to do a quick shooting the day after. I told him that I don't usually shoot models…

The following day the sky was dull, and I didn't feel like taking pictures with that light.

But New York had other plans for me... crossing 5th Avenue I came across a big "Krishna Consciousness" parade headed to Washington Square.

I wrote Krish, we plunged together in the parade and we emerged a couple of hours later, sweaty and overwhelmed by the crowd chanting the Hare Krishna Mantra.

Here is the results of this unexpected moment.
