I don’t know if I would ever want to sit for a Diego Cadavid portrait session. There seems to be a clear theme going on (at least for the women) that I’m pretty sure would make me very uncomfortable. Not to say that Diego Cadavid doesn’t know what he’s doing (because clearly he does) it’s just that I don’t normally sit around half naked.

I get it though, most of these are [model portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles)—and, believe me, I’m no model. But [skin-baring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela) aside, Diego Cadavid is able to capture the moment, translating them into [great photographic imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-portrait-studio).
