A few hundred feet away, on a protected beach in the Miami Keys, Ethan James Green transcended the verity of beauty from behind his camera.
I curiously watched as the photographer secured his balance on top of a ladder, peering through his lens at his subject from above. Lying in the sand below him, dressed in a soaked-through gold dress, her long hair swaying with the ripples, was Bridgerton star Simone Ashely. She was still, bent in an supine twist as if she’d just laid down to stretch while a shallow pool of water crept around her body, forming a lucid imprint on the damp ground.
