Over the course of two days in summer 2016, McCartney stayed with her subject Phyllis Wang at her St Germain apartment in Paris, photographing Wang in the nude to produce an extraordinary and intimate series of images. A mixture of black-and-white and colour, the delicate photo- graphs collected here showcase the trust required from both subject and photographer. During their time together, we see the model start to relax in front of the camera as an unspoken bond gradually develops between the two women.
