Darkly Norwegian Portraiture

Mareill Amelie Returns to Her Roots for Her Latest Series

— April 25, 2011 — Fashion
Mareill Amelie, the photographer with seemingly bucketfuls of talent, recently took a trip back to her Northern Norway roots.

While she was there, she had the opportunity to once again be fully inspired by the sights and sounds of her hometown and has updated her self portrait portfolio for 2011 with absolutely stunning images.

The pictures show the ever beautiful Mariell Amelie -- as always -- looking wonderfully introspective with a hint of darkness.  Once again, it’s her home country which takes centre stage in her self portraits, showing how in tune she is with her surroundings.  Her images ooze inspiration, depth and emotional vulnerability and have the ability to let the viewer connect intimately with the photographer.

Mariell Amelie continues to mature as an artist and her latest offerings are a further indication of why this extremely popular yet underground talent needs to be seen by the masses.

Whether she is behind the lens or also in front of the lens, Mariell always lets her proud Norwegian soul soak her images and create beautiful, dazzling photographs.
Trend Themes
1. Norwegian Artistic Expression - Exploring the beauty of Norway and its people through various forms of media can create opportunities for new forms of expression and appreciation of the culture.
2. Introspective Photography - Creating art that reflects the emotional vulnerability of the artist both in front of and behind the camera can touch a wider audience and start a conversation about mental health.
3. Revisiting Roots - Going back to one's roots and reconnecting with one's heritage can inspire creative expression and allow for a deeper understanding of one's identity.
Industry Implications
1. Photography - Exploring new ways of self-expression through photography and the use of technology can allow for new artistic visions and styles.
2. Art - Creating new forms of art that showcase the beauty of nature and people can inspire future generations of artists and lead to new cultural movements.
3. Mental Health - Creating art that represents the struggles and emotions of the artist can start a conversation about mental health and lead to new ways of self-expression and coping mechanisms.
