DAZED X PINGAL

Photographer Ashish Shah captures the beauty of South Asian bodies in his latest shoot for @haragojaipur, with a focus on the intimacy of male friendship in the region. This shoot celebrates the physical closeness shared between men- something that has always felt natural to Shah, like muscle memory. “It feels familiar and often shapes my photographs, where touch is habitual and comforting.”
