‘Coming to Terms’ by Alex Johnson is a gorgeous series of [vibrant portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorama) that features rainbow-colored paints cascading down the body of the model. The subject’s luminous skin really helps amplify the contrast between paint and body; each image seems to be more powerful than the last.
