Read the story behind the shots by Jay Seba

YOAN & LIONEL

Taken during a test shoot for Next Models in New York, Yoan and Lionel were our last minute talents.

I initially had the idea for a shoot with a harsh light, the city skyline in the background and the use of a classic car.
Sourcing the car and perfect location however was proving to be quite difficult.

Luckily, on my second day in New York, a Neighbour to the Airbnb we were staying at showed us that the building had a gorgeous rooftop that literally almost nobody used, and this ended up being the perfect setting for our shoot.

This polaroid was taken at a moment when the models were taking a breather between
The main shots and had taken off their jackets. I noticed they just so happened to both be wearing white vests, so I asked them amidst their gaze out on to city skyline sunset, to turn around so I could quickly snap a polaroid.
