A photography series by Studio Étincelle featuring mẹ con, mother and daughter, Aimee Anh Thu Luu and Amanda Luu.

Series set in San Francisco in collaboration with our friends, Abacus Row and Studio Mondine, for the fourth installment of AR et al. no.4.

Ashley is the photographer, creative director, and feminist behind Studio Étincelle. Having watched the sun rise in over twenty countries, she has developed a unique ability to forge intimate connections with people of all backgrounds; an ability to draw out and capture the true nature of those who cross her path. Her use of mixed media to create bold designs with photography and graphic elements defies common notions about marketing and branding, allowing her clients to stand out in oversaturated industries. Her endeavors are also motivated by a deep desire to support other creatives and globally conscious brands, inspired by the singular compassion and strength that blossoms when women come together to get shit done. Ashley is currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Studio Mondine is a floral design studio based in foggy San Francisco, California. We seek to balance the lushness of English garden arrangements with the precision of Japanese ikebana in our work. We look to nature and the changing of the seasons to inform our designs. It's with feverish enthusiasm that we seek out the rarest ingredients, working directly with the finest flower farmers in the nation or cultivating these special blooms ourselves in our small cutting garden.
