'Last Dawn, Last Gasp'. This winter, I went diving with some local fishermen. At 6 in the morning I was already in the water, as the nets were raised at first light. During the dive I followed the path of the fishing nets from the bottom to the surface. As the fishermen quickly hauled on the nets, I tried to take some shots of trapped fish still suffering in the mesh, such as this tuna ().

Kumbh Mela 2025: The Sacred Goes Viral. Faith and Reality. Beyond the Rituals: Life on the Margins of the Kumbh Mela.

This image captures the contrast between faith and hardship, showing that while the Kumbh Mela is a place of devotion, it is also a space where resilience, community, and the struggle for a better life unfold side by side.
