Presence

Tulum, Mexico

Sejal likes to meditate in the morning, so I snuck up on her while she did her thing. This was a 25-second exposure to average out the waves, and in that time she didn't move at all: total presence. The sea looks like ice.

Her mastery of this spiritual journey inspires everyone around her, including me. I was grateful to meditate through the lens as I captured this beautiful moment.
