These were captured in the first year of me acquiring my camera. Shraddha—a gorgeous, bold, and unapologetic woman—her name suited the intensity she brought as a model. It was easy to fall in love with her presence and the devotion she showed in every shot. I never had to direct her; she was a natural, instinctively knowing how to move. This ease, however, got me into a bad habit—only clicking and not directing my subjects, expecting them to carry the scene as effortlessly as she did.
