In 'Watergames' by Jan Kocovski, the photographer has made the daily ritual of [washing one's face](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-wise) significantly sexier by capturing it in slow-mo. This series reminds me of the [face wash commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deglaze-my-makeup-with-me) on television, only Kocovski has swapped out the fresh-faced femme with a chiseled-jaw male. I approve.

We've seen a number of photo shoots that focus on the interplay between [models and water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faucet-filter). After you enjoy 'Watergames' by Jan Kocovski above, keep clicking for more similar features.
