Distorted image views and botanical photo projections make the artful Javier Casares by Rainer Torrado image series come to life. This conceptual set of portraits captures the gorgeous details of a white orchid plant while infusing them with traditional model portraits.

Once captured, an orchid's [floral elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floralbooth) are then dissected and dispersed to play with a viewer's perception. Success Models face Javier poses in a series of intimate studio depictions that are later over-layed with the original orchid views.

The result of the Javier Casares by Rainer Torrado image series is a [bold visual kaleidoscope](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflecting-diverseness) that takes its viewer through a [botanical journey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-pulses) of eye-catching elements. These range from flower-clad face views to more ambiguous views that reveal the flower's delicate structure.
