Award winning photographer Adrian Samson pleases again in his latest work entitled ‘Tears & Awakening.’ The London-based photographer who shoots for all the major agencies has secured clients such as [Microsoft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-windows-xp-x-crocs), [Motorola](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moto-watch-fit), [Ford](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-bronco-bricc) and Xbox to name a few.

Feeding off his creative and versatile style, ‘Tears & Awakening’ features some sort of dream sequence with a man falling from the heavens as well as fashionable women looking into glass windows. Although I don’t know the exact story Samson was going for, the photos are very beautiful.
