Alban a Stranger (portrait)

Alban and I spent two days together on the coast of Asturias in northern Spain, two strangers who crossed paths and then disappeared from each other's lives entirely. These portraits were made on a cold evening when he decided, without much warning, to go for a nude swim in the Atlantic. He was a unique character. As it happens, I was there to photograph the glassware for Studio Franche when Alban walked into the frame and made the day his own.
