But the magazine wanted Len to do the shoot in a hotel conference room, not outside showing one of the most picturesque cities in the world. “That’s a shot you could get anywhere,” he said.
After the shoot, “Penelope looked at me and said ‘I’ve seen your work before, and you’ve come all the way to Paris. Don’t you want to do something more thought provoking?’”
