Photographer Eric Mas captures the eye and the imagination with this photo shoot entitled “The Warrior." The subject appears chained and isolated in various stages of emotion. Even when on the verge of, or immediately after, partaking in some [destructive act](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness), Mas’ images still convey a [sense of calm and control](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tough-guys-soft-sweaters) amidst obvious chaos.

“The Warrior” shoot was done for U Magazine and was styled by Marco Antonio Prado and Nicolau Vergueiro, the [chained warrior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curb-chain-collection), model D-Myke has worked with Mas previously and the results continue to amaze.
