As though revolving around a deceptively simple magic trick or an optical illusion, it involves a strategic placement of lines. Whether these lines form geometric shapes or interact with the models in a more basic way, it provides an imaginative element to the photoshoot. Shot in studio against a stark white backdrop, the editorial for China Life Magazine by Bence Bakonyi is utterly arresting. The photographer is known for his creativity behind the lens such as his [Floating Series](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bence-bakonyi) and his [Transform Series](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-camouflage).
