In my heart of hearts I would love to emulate the [documentary photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam) in 'Without a Face' by Izabella Demavlys if I ever had the chance. (Granted, I would need the talent and skill to pull it off first.)

The stunning series 'Without a Face' by Izabella Demavlys is particularly [poignant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimedia-art-installation). As Another Face In The Crowd writes, "By documenting the [plight of women](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scar-stories1) from Pakistan, Izabella has transformed the medium itself into a catalyst for change."
