Canadian photographer Martin Tremblay shot a series entitled 'Fortune Cookie' in Germany's Shon! magazine. The Fortune Cookie photo series features high-fashion dressed models posing upside-down around Chinatown. In the entire series, the models nonchalantly pose with various Asian foods and objects.

The unique mind-bending photographs are vibrantly captured and feature killer couture fashions. The Canadian photographer is known for taking a unique approach to photography and high-fashion editorials. Montreal-based photographer Martin Tremblay brilliantly adds a twist to the usual high-fashion Chinatown editorial magazine shoot.

The most memorable photograph from the series is the photo of the topsy-turvy model holding a colorful Asian snack with a completely straight face upside-down. The [photographic illusion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripples-collection) is trippy but amazingly beautiful.
