The photo series titled Bubble Shooter by Mikel Muruzabal, a photographer based in Pamplona, Spain, is inspired by the [retro video game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearista-game) of the same name. Of course, it takes on a much more seductive undertone rather than a playful one. As colorful as the game, the vibrancy is interpreted in an edgier way, which complements the collection of [neon hued, tropical-inspired swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/country-club) put on display.

Starring model Rocío La Fuente, Bubble Shooter by Mikel Muruzabal was styled by Ara Rodríguez. Assisted by Miguel Goñi, the Spanish photographer created a dynamic set that is incredibly eye-catching. The use of [big bubbles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-stool) really adds a surreal touch that is hard not to appreciate. The curve-hugging looks featured throughout the photoshoot were perfected by makeup artist Cristina Garcés.
