This Suresh Natarajan ‘Samurai’ shoot shows a ferocious screaming model with a spiked bun and a gorgeous plaid wrap. I wouldn’t peg the model as a samurai from these shots alone, but the aggression and power she exudes makes this comparison a sensible one.

If you’re a regular reader of TrendHunter.com, you’ll recognize Suresh Natarajan’s work, as we featured her tribal photography [earlier this month](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suresh-natarajan).
