Good evening dear paid member,
I did promise you a weekend surprise, didnβt I?
Well here it is: today I had a shoot with Ashley in my home studio.
It was meant to be a meeting to work on the logistics of the autumn Wanderlust Getaways photography holiday in Cyprus - which we efficiently completed on time, so we were able to squeeze a two hour shoot, in addition to our meeting.
So, what I can share now is one of our favourite images as well as two screenshots with thumbnails of the selection that we will send for retouching.
I had the opportunity today to put two new lenses through their paces, both acquired in the last month or so. The leading photo on this post was shot with my new RF85mm f2.0 macro lens. I shot right down to the lowest aperture - hence the beautiful background blur.
I hope this was a pleasant surprise - it means there will be a few new posts wit( Ashley in the coming days/weeks which I could describe as soft erotic art. Check out the thumbnails to see what I mean.
Well, I hope this was a pleasant surprise for some of you!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Ps: check out the Ashley Ashton collection of you want to see more of Ashley - it contains 237 posts.
Ps2: updated with two more lightly retouched photos.
