20. I wonder about the photo

It doesn't look staged to me; Simone appears to be quite intent on something off to the left. Who took her photo? What were the circumstances? Was the photographer just in the right place at the right time or are there other photos like this? Considering Simone's counterespionage activities a clear shot of her face was very dangerous for her.

In short, positively amazing to have this photo.
