Drastically Juxtaposed Photoshoots

Ponystep's 'Decidedly Daphne' Editorial is Contrasting

Ponystep Magazine's 'Decidedly Daphne' editorial portrays artist Daphne Guinness in the most unusual of manners. Photographer Miles Aldridge first captured Guinness within a well put-together ensemble, getting at what most believe to be her everyday essence.

Just below Aldrige's initial picture is a sweaty Guinness with makeup steaming across her face. This disheveled version of the icon is one that few have seen or even considered, and it is in this way that Ponystep has challenged the status quo.

Guinness delves into the creation of her new film 'The Legend of Lady White Snake.' The production process in many ways mimics the daring nature of Decidedly Daphne. "I improvised a lot of Shakespeare in it- there's not a script or anything," said the on-screen star.
