Deserted by Steven Lyon was styled by Jenke-ahmed Tailly, featured model Amanda Booth and appeared in Remix Magazine. This [beach spread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sel-de-mer) is incredibly captivating because of the emotive model and the [gritty photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by). Lyon was able to capture darkness in a way that still preserved all the finer details that makes this collection stand out.

Booth doesn't hold back any emotion, and she still manages to look beautiful even while committing fully to a role that demands she distort and scrunch up her face. You can almost feel the [raw emotion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take) that is leaping from the page. Deserted by Steven Lyon doesn't shy away from standing out and being something different on its own -- that is the exact reason why these photos are so captivating and manages to really draw viewers in.
