In October, Studio 838 covered Downtown LA Fashion Week. Studio 838 photographers Alex Barakat, Thomas Connors, and Gilbert Mojarro shot runway, red carpet, and backstage. They captured the glamour and excitement of the MOCA Geffen shows and the debut of the Cao Cosmetics line. Ash Gupta attended the finale night, reuniting with friends Apollonia Kotero, Max Ryan, and Sandra Vidal.
Early in the month, Ash and the studio shot the experimental editorial,”One of Us,” at the Custom Hotel (featured in the current issue). Miss Latvia and Christina Djadenko were photographed as well and will be featured in a European publication.
Ksenia Sukhinova, the reigning Miss World, returned to Los Angeles and walked in the Valentino show. She took time out to shoot again with Ash Gupta, who is the first photographer who photographed her within the United States. Another Eastern face, Monika Jakisic, was shot for Croatian Maxim.
Ash rounded off the month by shooting a 16-page fashion editorial for British magazine The Collective, featuring 12 looks with a “fine art” spin on fashion. The
month concluded with a shoot of hot, young Hollywood face, Collin Blake, for IQ Magazine.
