The 7 stages of Ishq



Seven Stages of Ishq emerged from curiosity. Inspired by the idea of ishq and the many ways love changes us, the series follows two men through attraction, infatuation, love, trust, worship, madness and death.


Through soft, intimate black-and-white photographs, the work explores longing, tenderness and the experience of being seen by another human being.
