What if "distorted portrait" didn't mean a face stretched in Photoshop, but a body shot from eight inches away with a 14mm fisheye?
For this piece I pushed the trend out of the design-software lane and into the language of extreme sports photography, a mock alpine campaign for my studio, where the distortion isn't applied in post but baked into the lens itself.
The portrait fragments across four frames:
(hand, hands, face, figure) as the fisheye does the warping that designers usually do with cut-up and collage.
The reason this trend lands right now is the same reason GoPro footage outperformed polished cinematography a decade ago: people are tired of frictionless.
Where would you take it — same trend, different visual vocabulary?
Nice pick precision matters, especially for brand credibility.

Project: Spatial Identity & Expo Stall Design | United Business Park
Transforming corporate branding into an immersive, high-impact physical experience. For this project, the goal was to design a premium, hyper-realistic exhibition stall for the "United Business Park Special Economic Zone."
Design Breakdown:
Concept 1: A premium corporate hub emphasizing structured, matte-black architecture, integrated LED lighting tracks, and conversational lounge zones designed for high-value client onboarding.
Concept 2: A bold, minimalist approach featuring towering, brand-colored curved structural pillars (U-B-P) that create immediate visual dominance and foot-traffic curiosity on an expo floor.
Love the attention to detail and brand integration. Great work!
