Portraying various forms of action, Stephen Landau captures [strong women](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren) in his rather obviously titled ['Action' photo series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith). Imbuing each image with a [gamer aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-x-martine-rose-campaign), his idea of action seems very violent and, I have to say, male-oriented.

Of course, Stephen Landau knows exactly what he's doing. The execution is impressive, if a tad stylized, and there is an undeniable sense of suspense. For even more images, visit Behance. He extends the series to also include movement and espionage.
