Always nice to see you .... PER APPELGREN photographed the artist Yulia Pavlen for the cover series of LE MILE magazine. "Shooting outdoors in 40°F (5°C) weather was one of my most challenging experiences. I wore five looks, most of which were light-weight—one was just a skirt and bra. I was freezing the whole time but didn’t say anything. I knew it wouldn't be easy, so I focused on giving my best. The team was amazing, checking in regularly, which I really appreciated." Yulia Pavlen, performance artist.
".... I'm incredibly grateful for the experience. I love stepping out of my comfort zone. My motto is, 'This scares me, but let's try it.' Taking risks and pushing myself are just who I am. When I'm doing what I love, I forget about the discomfort. It feels like leaving the world behind and stepping into a space where I can express myself."
