Abigail Spencer recently went on a nostalgic trip and she presented to her followers the ancient photoshoot through a series of pictures. They were very attentive to the past and the actress brought forward a carousel posting simply stating “these were the days” as an understatement meaning still keeping special moments with the photographer Nathaniel Wood who took the pictures capturing the moment throughout the years.

The photographs display Spencer in what looks like an outdoor setting with a desert background, and she is sparkling and savoring every moment of the shoot and location. In a variety of shots, the wind is playing with her hair, creating even the “hair in the air” moment which one of the commenters recognized immediately. There is a nonchalant vibe in the pictures that is both professional and absolutely natural as if they’ve caught someone in their living area instead of shooting her.

The actress who has featured in “Mad Men,” “Timeless,” and “Suits,” has always kept her personal life low-key which is quite the opposite of some of her Hollywood peers. However, any time she gives a glimpse into her life, it is surely going to be an impactful experience for her followers. The shoots-in-question have clearly had that effect as the comments by the fellow photographer Caroline DeJean—“Still one of my fav shoots ❤️”—indicate that the pictures have been appreciated in creative circles for quite a while.

The followers’ feedback was nothing but favorable, and a majority of them commented on the actress’s vivacity and beauty. One person commented: “Oh your smile is so beautiful,” while another, in a typical social media praise style filled with emojis, wrote: “You have a beautiful smile and adorable 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.” Additionally, Spanish-speaking comments were also coming thick and fast, e.g. “Wow guapísima mí amore besos” and “Hermosa y bonita Abby 🤍💖🤍,” which pointed out Spencer’s worldwide draw.

A particular fan, who was really keen-eyed, had something funny to say, referring to one energetic image that “3rd photo: Road Runner passed by,” a remark that beautifully expressed the vividness of motion the picture was portraying.

Then again there were the shallow responses. One user proceeded with a lengthy rant starting with “I’m big on nuance, compassion, and empathy,” and wandering through a couple of paragraphs about their personal philosophy finally arriving at “I also love handing out $ like candy.” It was one of those wonderfully strange social media situations that show how diverse the online communities can be.

This throwback seems to be significant in its timing as well. In an industry that always puts the spotlight on an actor to showcase their latest projects, an established actress like Spencer bringing attention to her past work is like a breath of fresh air. It is a reflection of the artist who is not only concerned with what is current or trending but who values her creative journey and the collaborations that have been part of it.

The credited photographer Nathaniel Wood has worked with several high-profile stars and magazines, and his ability to capture genuine moments even in a very staged environment is what he is known for. The partnership between him and horseback riding seemingly created magical but only natures moment that they still cherish years later.

The most incredible thing about these images is not only Spencer’s stunning beauty or her irresistibly photogenic qualities but rather the sheer delight that each picture radiates. In a world where images are usually strategically chosen, these pictures are very much like a real capturing of someone enjoying the creative process, lost in the moment of art-making.

The comment section literally became a “thank you” party; fans showed their affection for the actress in all sorts of ways, mentioning everything from “nice shoes” to that endearing smile that appears to even light up the screen through. One of the fans seemed to perfectly articulate the general sentiment when she said “YOU SO COOL AND PRETTY 🌺🤍🌺”—indeed at times the simplest compliments say it all.

Spencer has always been that rare combination of beauty and talent who not only goes but also allows to be seen as an artist doing the same in Hollywood. Whether it is dramatic roles in the main TV series or showing past photos that are personally significant, she is still the one who manages to stay both a working actress and sensitive human being which is pretty tough to accomplish sometimes in the entertainment business.

These photographs are a stark reminder of the fact that some creative partnerships and moments remain with the artists long after the shooting and the cameras are turned off. For Abigail Spencer, the moments when Nathaniel Wood took those photographs are extremely valuable, and it is not only her memories that she wishes to share but those who appreciate her art and spirit as well. She recently shared a mysterious Mercury retrograde update with stunning photos. Additionally, she announced a new medical comedy “Best Medicine” with a teaser. In a recent campaign, she also revealed her secret to a dazzling smile.
