Using [shadows and contorted bodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ralph-pucci-pure-exhibition), Anya Kamare has been able to create a [series of photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) that is both unnerving and beautiful.

The focus of the shoot is one model, and she is statuesque and has platinum blonde hair that has been made to look structured. The entire shoot is done in varying degrees of gray scale. All the clothes, the backdrop and the shadows are gray through white, allowing the model's expression to shine.

The most interesting facet of the series is the movement that has been used. The model is utilizing the [flowy material of the outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025) by spinning them, and this is contrasted with the angular shapes that she is making with her body.

There is something eerie about this photography series, however Anya Kamare has been able to create a memorable shoot.
