# Sparkly Scaled Siren Shoots 'Red Station' Has a Reptilian Theme with the Model's Shimmering Outfit By Sarah Dos Santos | Published 2013-11-09 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-station References: [fashionserved](http://www.fashionserved.com/gallery/Red-Station/7973631) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Dalessph) 'Red Station' by D'Alessandro Photography has an underwater theme with a model who looks much like a siren or exotic human and reptile hybrid. Her volumized fire orange hair is crimped, making little waves show up in it as if she had been swimming all her life. Her aqua blue eye makeup adds a gorgeous intensity to her already blue eyes. Her outfit is also very [mermaid-like](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salty-mermaid). The shimmery leggings and flowing sequin top emphasize the [reptilian theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glowaconstrictor). Although the photographs were taken on land, the walls of the building and the metallic hue of the ceiling give the illusion that she is underwater. 'Red Station' is so beautiful with all the bold colors. The model appears to be channeling her inner Ariel but adds much more attitude to her role. In a few images she claws her hands and bares her teeth like a reptile who is trying to defend its territory.
