Migu Tuason is a young illustrator and photographer from San Jose, California. His series of [self portraiture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persona-ai) is a hazy hallucinogenic set of photographs that looks as though it could have been drug-induced.

Regardless, the natural inclination towards artistic creativity that Migu Tuason has shines through the acid haze. Shot with a Lomo camera, Migu Tuason manages to achieve a [vintage vibe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color) in these shots that instills a sense of seriousness.

**Implications** - XX.

Migu Tuason captures photos that definitely have a distinct aura around them. The photos make me feel as though they were taken in the club late at night. These photos by Migu Tuason have a [dream-like sensibility](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripples-collection) to them and I for one really like that.
