The Wilder by Laia Benavides is a vibrant story featuring model Pamela from Wilhelmina, NY. The photographer Laia Benavides captures this series in a [tropical rainforest background](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rose-boreal) to show the model as a strong and ravishing jungle woman.

The stylist Lia Hallie adorned the model in bright colors including greens, pinks, reds, yellows, blues and leopard prints. The beautiful colors, shapes and patterns in this shoot create a wonderful [fusion of jungle patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylrk-camo). Makeup artist Dominique Farina painted the model's lips fushia pink, and coated her eyelids with white and pink eyeshadow.

Laia attended photography school in Barcelona, and her career took off as soon as she moved to New York. This wonderful safari story shows the power of the female body.
