Perfect Pastel

Lyla Ashby sits down in lilac and makes the whole thing look completely effortless: the pale pastel bra and matching briefs a soft, feminine counterpoint to the ornate ironwork of the bench she occupies, black heels planted on the tiled floor, blonde hair falling simply around her face. In "Perfect Pastel," the colour scheme is the mood, soft and feminine and just hinting at something more, the kind of palette that looks innocent from a distance and much less so up close. She holds the lens with calm confidence, making the most of every angle the set allows.

By the final frame, the pastel bra has come off and Lyla is photographed against a luminous, high-key white background that all but glows, the bright studio light wrapping around her warmly as she looks just off-camera with an expression that manages to be both casual and compelling. Up close, she is striking, all clear eyes and quiet authority, the kind of close-up portrait that makes the title feel like an understatement. "Perfect Pastel" is exactly the right name for the mood this set creates, but the final image goes well beyond any pastel shade and into something much more vivid.
