Vanity and vulnerability collide in Moa Karlberg's 'Watching You Watching Me.' Karlberg is a Swedish photojournalist who shot 'Watching You Watching Me' from behind a [two-way mirror](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-omnia).

I really like what Karlberg did here, but I can't help feeling like it was an extreme [invasion of privacy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-surveillance). Regardless, it does make for an incredibly interesting [photoshoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1). Each subject is completely unaware that they're being photographed, leading to some extremely genuine and thought-provoking shots. You'll think twice about looking in the mirror after you check this one out.
