A stranger
I met on the street three months ago and invited me to go into his apartment.
I returned and showed the first pictures I took of him.
I brought my flash because I knew that I was still shooting him.
But I did not know it was proposed to pose nude for me

His story:
I do not know the whole story of this man, but I can tell you what I know. He is 53 and lives in a small apartment on my street. In 2006 his mother died, with which he had lived with in this apartment. After her death he was alone. I think he lived his whole life with his mother, so her death for him was a tragic event. Since he lives alone and does not work, it uses the money he inherited to live.
he is currently looking for a smaller apartment, because he is now only one.

Benoit - what an amazing photo! There's everything here - squalor, magnificence, beauty, ugliness, loneliness, and the intrigue of the man who asked to pose...

Paired with the story this image multiplied in gravity. That's not to say that it doesn't stand on it's own but the two together reveal so many possible, layered meanings. Nice work.

Did you ask why he wants you making naked pictures of him? I like this picture very much. Lonely man who doesn't live, I think, in a convivial atmosphere. He is glad with a little attention that's why he invited you at his home. You made a very modest picture but oh so strong.

Benoit, I am very happy to see this on the front page, as I have said before I think that your work is very provocative but it is also well rooted in humanity.

Rather disturbing - but effective - well done!
This is what it is all about. I admire your expeirence and his bravery to be photographed in this manner. This is real, true and with modern twist. Go out and meet more people and ask them about their lives- you have a gift.

Disturbing on a number of levels, and at the same time it keeps you hooked. Good job, nice to see something so far out there.
