There's something about 'Veronika' and Hong Kong-based photographer Samson Poon knows exactly what it is. With her sneaky movements and [mysterious looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rouge-noir), you simply can't risk taking your eyes off her within these prints.

With the help of [makeup artist and hair stylist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn-silhouette) Kitty Chan, and stylist Bhisan Rai, Samson Poon has put together a shoot that is fully dependent on emotion, while conveying [fashionable styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artsy-eyewear-collection) amidst a barren backdrop.
