Trend Hunter has had its fair share of body paint and liquidified doses, but I have to say that the work of Gabriel Wickbold is something else entirely. Using exuberant amounts of neon paints as his main materials, Wickbold creates awe-inspiring images that leaves you wondering how he did it.
Not afraid of color or emotion, Brazilian photographer Gabriel Wickbold is definitely something of a paint genius. I can’t help but think that if you don’t get it in one take, it’s done, but it’s obvious that much strategy went into these shots.
