Patrick certainly seemed the most vulnerable of the models I met in New York. I couldn’t work out if it was nerves or something deeper. His passion for the city was obvious; there wasn’t a neighbourhood he didn’t know inside out.

I learnt his latest move across town was linked to a break up. Whilst listening to these words, I noticed the sadness that surrounded him. It wasn’t nerves, or shyness - it was a deep emotional state that was engulfing his mind.

Patrick described the shoot as ‘practising self-love’. With little direction, he produced some very emotive shapes, my favourite is the foetal position which couldn’t explain more clearly how angelic, calm and vulnerable his aura seemed that day.

Quiet, still, contemplating.

Sad, broken. Ready to rebuild.
