If this shoot doesn't make you yearn for your teenage years, than I don't know what possibly could. This [series of photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) is entitled 'Concrete and Clay,' and is shot by Alan Foreman who made each one absolutely stunning.

Capturing the angst and simplicity of a teenager is an extremely hard thing to accomplish, yet the outcome couldn't be more beautiful than that in the 'Concrete and Clay' spread by Alan Foreman. According to The Ones2Watch, the inspiration for this shoot came from "youth, [adolescent rebellion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren), and the search for escapism."
