The Michelle Viljoen Photo Series captures a redheaded hunk in a forest with [matching fire-colored fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25).

Viljoen focuses more on the model and the fashion than on the forest as the combination of hot colors in hair and apparel makes this shoot particularly striking. With little activity in the shoot, Viljoen uses the model to engage in lethargic-looking poses mostly leaning with his head bent sideways surrounded by logs, water or trees. The fashion follows suit with [naturalist, hippie versus farmer style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take). Viljoen’s [nature photo technique](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) uses different scenery and a variety of contrasting blurry backgrounds for a soothing and rather interesting photo shoot.

This photo shoot brings a mesmerizing matching theme that can be embraced by any photographer in any unique environment.
