This Diego Diaz 'Sickhead' shoot is a stunning collection of his latest work. The work is eerie but absolutely breathtaking. Diaz photographs [intricate headpieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s-carter-designs) that are sure make you gasp in either delight or shock.

Every image is powerful, but there are a few that stand out. I think the image of his model's face getting swallowed by a [snail shell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmentos-de-mar) is amazing, along with the [avant-garde pyramid cap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time) that is wrapping itself around her nude body.
