Dressed, photographed and left lifeless.
What I wanted to show with this picture is Lana Del Rey in a Marilyn Monroe situation. I wanted to give the impression of having your picture taken and therefore just being a doll that is being ripped off. Her face is lifeless and her figure and hair doll like. Lifeless but beautiful. This idea i got from a book that I read about Marilyn Monroe and psychoanalysis. In it the author analyzed Monroe's relation with the camera. Practically she loved to be photographed but on some point of her life she just felt that she was a puppet. And the reproduction of her in photo made herself just an object and less important due to her being consumed on photograph. So herself was no longer a use.
