Four people of which are three actors, and someone I was in love with. We met, had coffee, took some portraits, walked around and when the shoot was over, she pushed her head against the pillows, as if she was expressing what she really felt like. He bought ski googles to the shoot and insisted to sit on that snow covered bench. I guess I would have been to shy to ask him to do that, so I was relieved he just did it like that. We met, had coffee and then we walked. At this spot I asked him to stand in the light and look straight into it. Then he transformed. I don't remember who she was talking to on the phone. I usually was taking photos of her face, being obsessed with her expressions, trying to capture how she sees me. This time, she was with someone else. This photo wasn't about me anymore.
