Photographed by Milan-based Stefan Giftthaler, the Secrets are Memories photo series is even more alluring thanks to its mysterious tone. Its hazy, vaporous [post production](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vint) has given it an air of mystique that makes you want to be in on the secret between the two models.
