Indian beauty Prathna Srivastava moves through life with a deep, unshakable love—for travel, for the sea, for every fleeting moment. Her spirit is rooted in warmth and quiet strength, carrying the essence of someone who loves fiercely and dreams endlessly.
Photographer Jash Manuel shares: “At this point, I’ve been in and out of photography for over a decade, and Prathna was one of the few people I’ve worked with whom I could genuinely call a friend. She was my first shoot after my longest hiatus, while I was her first-ever shoot. Though this wasn’t that first session, it became a moment for us to set—or in my case, reset—the kind of boundaries we wanted in the industry. To do this on our own terms, in a way that felt right, and, above all, sustainable for us. This wasn’t a new beginning, but a reflection on the relationships we have with our crafts and passions, shaped by time and new perspectives.”
