Forough Yavari, Kai The Boy (PEOPLE & PORTRAIT 2024)

"Kai the Boy" is part of a series that explores photographing strangers, capturing their raw, unfiltered narratives. Kai’s distinct appearance and willingness to engage, despite hesitation, allowed for a glimpse into his hidden essence. This series aims to document the pure uniqueness of each sitter, without imposing my perspective as a photographer. There are no posing guidelines or specific outfits, just an honest attempt to capture their most genuine form.
