August was a fruitful month for Ash and Studio 838. creating campaign images for the launch of eco-conscious clothing line Degree Six, as well as a shooting model/actress Kim Smith whose face and figure have been featured for Victoria’s Secret, Mac and Jac, Abercrombie & Fitch, Harper’s Bazaar, and Andrew Marc. Smith also took part in two of Paul Marciano’s Guess? campaigns back in 2000.
And young Hollywood was never too far with Kevin Zegers, who is starring opposite Hilary Duff as Clyde Barlow in The Story of Bonnie and Clyde. Jennifer Lawrence will be starring in Guillermo Arriaga’s directorial debut, The Burning Plain, opposite Charlize Theron and Kim Basinger, also on the studio shoot deck.
Ash was also busy shooting the cover and pictoral for international editions of Maxim Magazine, and the first part of an experimental photo-couture project with designer Maggie Barry, as well as a progressive, ethnocentric fashion editorial for Desi Club, which will complement shooting Miss India, Ami Vashi. A unique subject includes the steamy shoot with two of Paris’ most prominent art dealers at one of Los Angeles’ most famous residences. Also photograped was Russian “it” model, Kira Dikthyar.
Ash conducted productive meetings with Ursula and more of the “Deal or No Deal” girls. To top it all off, there was a celebration with an end-of-season private party at Ash’s residence, rounding out a fairly warm August.
