Behind the lens. Behind the scenes.

Photographer André Morain takes us through a "who's who" of four decades of French art, politics and high society. Stolen moments with famous faces, these seemingly spontaneous snaps hide a talent for capturing the definitive gestures, lines and moods of his subjects. Let us know which ones take your fancy and Olivia Salazar-Winspear will go through your comments on air, Friday at 9:40 and 12:40.
