It's like playing 'Where's Waldo?' only Waldo never bothered to showed up, so you just keep looking. As frustrating as this might sound, Prager's photographs have such a [beautiful cinematic quality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) to them that eventually your eyes settle down and you begin absorbing the visual details of the entire scene. Each person in [photographer Alex Prager's series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color) is wholly unique, from the way they're dressed to the expression on their faces and even how they're behaving.
