Tony Filson aimed to present Ellie's innate beauty through a black-and-white lens. He remarked, "Even without hair and makeup, her unique and distinctive appearance sets her apart. It reminds me of iconic models like Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne, Gigi Hadid, and Linda Evangelista during the early stages of their careers. This is the start of a promising journey for Ellie Thuman, who is destined for great success."
