# Crisp Contemplative Photography The Cormac Hanley 'Internalize' Portfolio Focuses on the Inside By Meghan Young | Published 2010-04-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cormac-hanley-internalize References: [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/Gallery/Internalize/472009) & [monomondo](http://www.monomondo.com) As a hugely [reflective individual](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirroring-dialogue), I was instantly drawn to the Cormac Hanley 'Internalize' portfolio. Honing in on the [various contexts of contemplation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rituals-intuitia-collection), it is an incredibly poignant and clever concept. With each image titled with words like "Acquiesce," "Seethe," and "Rapt," the Cormac Hanley 'Internalize' photo series speaks to us on many different levels. I mean, I'm sure we have all experienced these types of reflections over the years--or will in the near future.
