The 'One Day There Will Be A Place For Us' [photoshoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) is visually stimulating. The model is seen only in black and white, alternating between white and black face paint. The shoot was taken by Gilles Et Dada for a project called 'NOSTYLEBUTGOODSENSE.'

These images are pretty striking to look at, mostly due to their intense contrast between black and white--but the model's glare might also contribute to that feeling. The [clothing featured](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tag-collection) looks pretty similar in most of the photos, only differing slightly, which ensures attention is maintained on the model's face.
