During lockdown in 2020, my Russian ex-girlfriend Liya, stranded in Moscow, introduced me to Elena from Paris, a nude model and performance artist of Greek descent. We decided to collaborate, and I began teaching her the Kali Kriya sadhanas from my tradition. With the lockdown leaving us with little to do, my retreat business had stalled, and everyone was pivoting to online ventures. Elena turned her Paris room into a performance space, and we started creating some Man Ray-inspired promotional material, which we never actually used. Looking back, it seems quite avant-garde, especially compared to today's yoga photography. I have always loved combining nude photography with yoga, not to commercialize it like Peter Hegre, but because I believe it truly touches the essence of the Tantric soul.
