Lana Del Rey, In Studio, 2018

The intimacy of this 2018 studio portrait really comes through—you can almost feel the quiet focus in her expression. The print quality does justice to Mick Rock’s eye for shadow and mood.

The lighting in this shot captures her mid-thought, not posing, which makes it feel so much more personal than a typical studio portrait. It’s already framed and hanging in my hallway, and I keep catching myself pausing to look at it.

I've been staring at this print for a week now and I still catch new details in her expression every time. The intimacy of the studio setting really comes through, feels like you're standing right there while she's working.
