The Moroccan midday sun blazed down on the labyrinthine alleyways of Marrakech's medina, but time seemed to pass more slowly in the cool, quiet courtyard of the old city villa.
Here, shielded from the world by the old pink walls, our international top model Christina lay unadorned on an expansive canapé, its deep purple pattern contrasting beautifully with the pale curves of her back.
The only sounds were the gentle splashing of the fountain in the middle of the courtyard and the soft, confident click of the camera.
Unclothed and completely relaxed, Christina moved with the fluid grace of a muse, her figure a living sculpture against the backdrop of intricate artistic tiles and lush foliage spilling out of oversized terracotta pots.
The images were a captured whisper of Marrakech itself - a story of light, privacy and timeless beauty in which the modern muse had found a moment of serene stillness in the beating heart of the ancient city.
We are delighted to have a glimpse into the private world of Christina, a world where beauty and art intertwine to create something truly extraordinary.
Masterfully captured with ease by Thomas Louvagny.
