shot by Ailera

tourism of magic for unconventional girls

10.27.14.editorial0

Editorial for Miss Robin magazine, Postcards issue which you can buy in print here.
Photography: Ailera Stone

Model, styling and make up: Ellie Connor-PhillipsI don’t quite remember how I discovered Ellie, but as soon as I saw her unique style that fits her perfectly, similar things we both like and of course her cute freckled looks (it’s no surprise for anyone that I love redheads! ;D) I knew I have to shoot with her at some point. And an opportunity came really soon, when Miss Robin announced their Postcards theme and it all just fell into place. I wanted to shoot something in some natural history museum for aaages, but always felt that my ideas for it were not quite there yet, so when Ellie, tourist/postcard/vintage theme came together it all seemed quite perfect. Museum works really well for a tourist inspired story, but I didn’t want to leave it at just that, as I remembered how I felt when I came there first – it was so beautiful and breathtaking, closest to Hogwarts than anything I’ve seen, so I decided to include a magical aspect too and show that even girls that do seemingly regular things (like going candy shopping, to the bookstore or visiting a museum) might feel like they’re actually navigating a world of enchantment and hide secret magic in them that breaks through.

Another blog post coming soon with lots of film+instax images from this shoot as the story now is not fully complete.

 

Doesn’t she totally look like redhead Elle Fanning in the one below?

 Hi to everyone who is new or have been following me for a while - I’m a fashion and portraits photographer currently based in London. I love anything dreamy and shooting stories full of nostalgia and bring some magic into life 🗝🥀🌙✨

✨I’m a Lithuanian and really miss the nature and the forests as it shaped me so much growing up. And I miss all my friends and family there so much as I haven’t been able to visit for awhile because of everything that is going on. Know that I’m thinking of all of you today and all the good times we always have. ❤️

✨Music was my first love (I went to music school) and something I can’t live without. Especially rock/alternative.🙌

✨I love reading books and playing video games, movies and tv shows etc. Anything to help me escape to other worlds. 🗝I get a lot of my inspiration this way!

✨And now I would love to meet and get to know you too, please comment below how you found me/ how long have you been following. If you relate to any of it or anything else about you like where you are from, I would love to know!❤️

 ✨As we were about to finish this shoot with Melody, the sun was out for the prettiest golden hour and suddenly it also started to rain. The street we were on at that moment could win the ugliest location challenge - there were heaps of trash on the ground and it wasn’t pretty to begin with. But for those few moments it really became just magical. The way the sunlight was sparkling through the rain, it felt like a different place, and a special moment. 

  I don’t even care about the things in the background and I left it in the pictures for a reason. As one of the main things for me in photography is in finding the magic and beauty in everyday life and in things that might seem mundane or even ugly at the first sight. 

  It’s all about how you choose to see the world ❤️
