On the caption that introduces Carl W. Heindl's 'Next to Strangers' [Cars' photo shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1), the photographer notes that his team had about 5 minutes to set up each shot. It's amazing what [beauty and truth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) can be revealed in that short span of time. Each photo seems to tell a different story; I've selected ten of my favorites from the shoot for the gallery above.
