Gabriela Mendez, a creative that's based out of Miami, Florida, who specializes in digital and film, recently expanded her portfolio with a series of portraits.
Throughout the shots, Gabriela Mendez focuses on models who pose in front of brightly colored backdrops and immerse themselves in water, so that just part of their faces are visible. In each of the shots that show a model in the water, the liquid around them in a different hue of a pastel color, with a light blue, yellow, and faded red all featured.
The shots that position a model in front of a vivid backdrop tend to maintain more uniform colorways, with the apparel, makeup, and natural props like flowers and butterflies used to enhance them.
