When I saw ‘Superhero Worship,’ an editorial by Adriana Gerasimova for Maximum Magazine, my eyes widened in awe. The remarkable images are sharp, aggressive and have a brilliant ‘Kill Bill’ feel about them.

Sword-handling model Anika is fiercely styled--covered entirely in [black and white body-hugging materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tag-collection), and accessorized with spiked-heel boots, [oversized sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouquet-collection-1) and futuristic belts. Her blood-red lips and the splattered teal paint on the walls add bold color to these [ultramodern photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set).

Adriana Gerasimova is a multi-talent as photographer, stylist, art director, and founder of Addminimal Agency. She is located in Bulgaria.
