Keegan captioned the photo “I love this moment between @shaym and @ladymshawsters. They look mad at each other here, but weren’t. In this second they were running lines, but also just really tired. There was just a single moment of reflection where they go back into being themselves. There’s just so much power. There’s a frustration of what happens in the scene.”


Here is a gorgeous photo of Ashley Benson (Hanna on PLL).

Keegan wrote “I remember thinking that this picture was almost hypnotic. Something happens to Hanna in the episode and @itsashbenzo was playing up the emotion of her character. This was in between setting up the camera and I just had her turn quickly. It was that simple. She’s so stunning”.

This is a cute photo of Ian Harding (Ezra on PLL) and Lucy Hale (Aria on PLL).

Keegan captioned it “I like to capture everyone when they’re just being themselves. @lucyhale and @ianmharding are great friends. Lucy’s so charming and Ian’s just a total nice guy. There’s no hostility or animosity and I think that’s why the writers have continued these relationships for the fans because there is real chemistry between all of us.”

Here’s Ashley Benson with Tyler Blackburn (Caleb on PLL).

Keegan wrote “Something happens to Hanna in the episode, so Ashley was trying to keep that feeling even in between takes. She needed to keep that emotion in her blood so it wouldn’t dwindle or go away. I enjoy that subtle small moment, where you can tell there’s something very real going on. Tyler was just being super cool.”

And here is a cool group photo.

Keegan captioned it “There’s a huge reveal in this episode, a huge surprise that we’ve done for the fans. This photo was taken the moment before that happened. It was kind of a surprise for the girls too. I don’t know if the fans will be laughing or screaming. It will get a lot of attention for sure.”

Keegan was definitely right about the surprise for the fans getting a lot of attention!
