As I look at the Andrea Zvadova Peoplez photo series, I can't help but think that these are portraits of people who have been asked to portray a [particular expression](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expression-editor-ai). When doing something like that on the spot, those expressions often look forced and exaggerated, with a [playful edge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zsiga-care-bears) since the participants often feel silly doing it.

The Andrea Zvadova Peoplez portrait series is a great concept by the Slovakian photographer that is full of lighthearted energy and personable characters. The photos in the Andrea Zvadova Peoplez portrait series are sharp, incredibly well-lit and relatively diverse. I just wish that there were more portraits in this photo series.
