Finally got around photoshopping these

by Ashley Posted on January 16, 2013

Being a model isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being interesting, about being able to transform in front of the camera. About being brave enough to let someone in. Pictures don’t have to be perfect either, nor does the setting. We shot these a few months ago inside the house, in front of some curtains, with minimal lighting, and I love how they turned out. It’s all about having fun and creating stuff! Can’t wait to shoot Tara again. Next up: a shoot on the beach!

S-s-summertime, summertime sadness

by Ashley Posted on July 29, 2012

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above all sizzling like your stare
Honey I’m on fire I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore

People are joking about the amount of instagram that is probably being used in Lana del Rey’s musicvideos, but I can’t help it: I LOVE THEM. Summertime Sadness gives me chills. All those beautiful shots where it seems like she’s floating… Also a big plus is the fact that one of her best friends (and very cute, may I add) actress Jamie King is in this video (you might recognize her from Hart of Dixie). Must be fun, riding in a car with them on those warm and lonely summer nights. Without the jumping off of bridges and all the tears of course.

My favorite moments? 0:48 (jumping between the trees), 2:55 (just because), 3:25 (floating floating!), 4:02 (she’s so pretty!) & 4:22 (love the end, it’s so eerie!). Also the scenes with Jamie on the bridge are SO beautiful. And the very short shots in between, the cute moment where Lana makes a funny face, Lana and the dog &… well, ok, I’ll admit it: I’m in love with every minute of it.
