As the year draws to a close, no matter how one feels about it, it becomes a natural moment for reflection — and perhaps for setting new intentions. Every year, I choose a personal theme: something to learn, something to give my time and attention to more consciously. What that focus will be this time, I’m not entirely sure yet. But when I look at the new series of Atlanta of Select Models Los Angeles, photographed by Jase Patrick, I find myself briefly losing track of time. 

Perhaps it’s something one shouldn’t say out loud, but trusting someone can sometimes lead to disappointment. There’s truth in the old saying that silence is golden — and intentions are not always what they seem. Sometimes people take what you offer freely — your time, your care, your energy, the little treasures you share from the heart — without ever realising their worth. Lately, I’ve had to relearn this lesson. Yet instead of letting it harden me, I’ve chosen to move forward with an open heart, believing that beauty and sincerity still exist.

Sometimes life reminds us to slow down and trust the process. In his latest series, Jase Patrick translates this feeling into images full of light and freedom. Together with the radiant Spanish model Maria Gandia of castawaymodelmanagement, he captures the beauty of the sea as a place of renewal and strength — a reminder that every step along the way carries us forward.

Nothing should be taken for granted. Not the quiet, real “how are you?” — asked not out of habit, but from the heart. Not the small smile when someone holds the door for you. Not your heartbeat, steady and unasked, carrying you through the day. Not sunlight on skin, or sand between fingers. Not even the moments we think will always be there. And just like that, something small becomes everything — a reminder that none of it is promised.

Captured by photographer Jase Patrick on the Khai Islands in Thailand, this sun-soaked series features models Eye and Alisa. Under the golden sun and surrounded by the infinite blue of the Khai Islands, two women reflect on presence, freedom, and the quiet power of connection. What begins as a moment shared on a secluded shore unfolds into something deeper—an ode to transformation, intimacy, and the vastness within.

She wanted to stop thinking, just live, surrender herself, and fill her heart with countless passions. Running along the beach, her hair wet from the salty water, she wished this moment could last forever. Enjoy a beautiful new series starring Karolina Hebda of Castaway Model Management, photographed and filmed by Jase Patrick.

Photographer Jase Patrick is renowned for capturing the sunlit moments of life through his mesmerizing images and videos. In his latest journey, he has teamed up with Luisa from Castaway Model Management, weaving magic into their day together.

The very second the ocean embraces her body, she feels utterly alive and gently shielded from all the world’s cares. In that singular instant, nothing matters but the quiet certainty of her own being. The unfettered freedom of the waves becomes her wellspring of strength, guiding her forward with untamed vigor. Unburdened by the eyes of others, she carves out the space her existence deserves.

In this lovely photo series, we join gorgeous model Ines Sampaio of Elite Lisbon as she reflects on the power of the present moment against the timeless backdrop of the beach. With photographer Jase Patrick these shots capture the essence of a carefree afternoon, blending the spontaneity of youth with the calm yet exhilarating energy of Portugal’s sunlit shores.

“Happiness is having time to do activities that make me feel alive.” In a world that’s constantly on the go, having time is one of the greatest luxuries we can afford ourselves. This quote comes from Micaela Morgado, co-founder of Models Factory in Portugal, who has mastered the art of balancing a multifaceted career as a model, actress, and nutritionist.

Give freely, from the heart. Let your offerings be an ode to the joy of giving, without the expectation of a return. If gratitude finds its way back to you, consider it a sweet bonus. But the true reward lies in the act itself. A smile, as simple as it may seem, can be a gift more precious than gold.

Together with Jase Patrick, who loves casual portrait sessions like the ones with Lada, they create a series of beautiful portrait shots that one can immerse in, just like the model in the turquoise pool. For Jase, such collaborations are a relaxed way to continuously explore and develop his visual language.

“The sound of the ocean, the smell of suncream, naps in the shade, being covered in sand while going for dinner and the beached summer skin feeling. Anywhere there is the sun, sand and sea I feel instantly at home, calm and connected. It’s my happy place.” This is how photographer Jase Patrick describes his motivation for this beautiful photo series in a bay on the beach in Portugal.
