When Petter Hegre arrived in Kiev the first time, he went to the best agency with his card and portfolio.

THEY GLANCED briefly at his work and next day, Tania turned up at his hotel room. She was, as he recalls "as solid and a soldier on a mission." She dropped her clothes where she stood and, while she posed, she studied his every move: angles, light positions, camera technique. Tania left happily and over the next four days the same agency sent a stream of girls to be photographed.

It was only when he was due to leave Kiev that he discovered that Tania, apart from being a model, was also a superspy. The agencies send her as a test rabbit, her true mission to check out who this photographer guy really is. Is he just a pervert or an actual photographer?

Tania not only liked his work, she liked him and, when he discovered her mission, they became great friends.
