Photographer Valentin Chenaille has a knack for taking [simplistic photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) but with strong underlying themes. The collection entitled 'Onirisme' features a mere few of the many pictures in Chenaille's portfolio.

What he is able to do is capture that one [moment between sleep and waking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herms-hermessence), where the world seems blurry but still makes sense. Simplistic in thought, yet extraordinary in its result, Valentin Chenaille's [poetic pictures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virginia-sin) are masterful.
