here's something different for the thread. Jorge, the photographer, and Yana, his girlfriend/muse, were in Paris where they met an artist. Jorge documented the encounter but did not stage any of the shots. This gives a real behind the scenes look of what this experience is like for the model and artist. In a way we become the voyeurs since the photographer captured this in such an honest way.

Here is his introduction:

Paris, December 2018
Paris is always a good idea. We met Stéphane on a cold winter day on the Montmatre. He had set up his easel there and was waiting for customers. We liked his drawing style and so we let him draw us a portrait of Yana. We got into conversation and Stéphane said if we would like to come to his atelier ( his living room the next day, then he would like to make some sketches of Yana. Said done. So the next morning we met Stéphane in a café in Paris, where he showed Yana his sketchbook. Then we went to him, he made us hot tea, and then he started. For Yana it was a challenge to keep quiet for so long, but it was a wonderful experience and I was very lucky to be able to document everything.
