By the end of the year, I'm sure more than one person can relate to the Romain Laurent 'Burnout Syndrome' photo series. All I can say is that the holidays couldn't come at a better time. Although there may be the added stresses of gift shopping and such, it is also a time of reflection and rest.
The Romain Laurent 'Burnout Syndrome' photo series was shot for Usbek & Rica Magazine. Depicting a man literally smoking because of all he has to endure, it is a stunning and clever concept. Check out the short video about to see it in motion.
