Gwen Stefani — Wonderful Life

I haven't thought of you for years, you know? Your memory seems to come and go... Our time meant so much to me. Now, you can't be found...







(click to enlarge)










it's a wonderful, wonderful life...
why'd you have to say goodbye?
































BEHIND THE SCENES

myself, Lina, and Sofia on location...


I'm fixing Sofia's hair...


...and also fixing her makeup! lol


on the ground, in the zone, focusing!! please excuse my underwear! lol.
I love that you can see my ribs. sigh. I need to eat & sleep more.


last scene, the base of that lake was so MUDDY... we were stuck helping each other! lol


my beautiful and flavorful immigrant sistas! YESSS ahahahaha :D



I hope you like this Fashion story. We worked very hard, and were professional about the time, finished in 1 hour, in part because Sofia is already beautiful, makes my work easier! :D Doesn't she remind you of a mixture between Scarlett Johansson and model Freja Beha??? And also Lina recorded a lot of video footages, so she will make it into a mini-fim behind the scenes for next post! Come back later! ;)

    wow you are so amazingly talented! these photos are simply stunning and the way you combined them with the fonts and graphics and such is so great!
