The Galore Magazine premier issue captures model Ashley Smith in some precarious western scenarios.

The sultry shoot was photographed by Ellen von Unwerth. It is a mix of black and white shots contrasted against vibrant red splashed images. Stylists Anda & Masha played into Smith's blonde vixen appeal and dressed her up in [leather, corsets and barely there looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty). The final product is an S & M feel shoot with a [western theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/western-noir) running throughout. In fact, the editorial is called 'Goodbye Horses' and [horse artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horse-power-collection) were hung in several of the photos. The editorial also includes two masked companions to add to the risque and seductive concept behind the shoot.

The Galore Magazine premier issue with Ashley Smith is sexy, ultra-chic and sure to raise a few eyebrows.
