What if a spell turned some of the world’s most famous car models into real women? What would they look like? That’s what photographer Viktorija Pashuta decided to explore with her latest portrait project, titled “What if Cars Were SUPERMODELS?”

She gathered 12 top supermodels and gave them looks that reflected cars that range from Kia Optima to the Rolls Royce Phantom.

“In our materialized world – people get so much attached to certain objects that to imagine them as human beings is not that difficult,” Pashuta tells BASIC Magazine, which first published this series. “The most interesting part was combining fashion elements with car features. […] The hardest part in these sort of photo shoots is preparation.”

Pashuta and her team spent days working on the details of each portrait, aiming to capture the “soul” of each vehicle in how the models are portrayed.

The photographer previously created projects that imagined social networks as men and Internet browsers as women.
