Ghostly Intimate Portraits

Emil Monty Freddie Shoots Model Kamille in Hazy Light

— January 23, 2012 — Naughty
Vintage black-and-white photographs have the ability to bring about feelings of nostalgia, but their eerie quality also brings forth a ghostly or haunting sense, as captured perfectly in Emil Monty Freddie's series of Kamille portraits.

The Dutch photographer shines new light on the standard lingerie shoot by snapping shots of new model Kamille in untraditional and almost typically unflattering poses, exposing a vulnerability and fragility in the woman. The monochromatic and blurred effects give a mysterious quality to the photos, almost like they were never meant to be seen by anyone else's eyes.

While I completely embrace glamorous fashion shoots, there is something about Emil Monty Freddie's Kamille portraits that leaves a lasting impression, and comes across as much more than just a fashion photoset.
Trend Themes
1. Vintage Photography Revival - Opportunity for companies to incorporate vintage or retro themes in their marketing campaigns to evoke nostalgia and a sense of timelessness.
2. Vulnerability and Realism in Fashion - Fashion companies could explore capturing models in untraditional poses or with flaws to connect with a wider and more empathetic audience.
3. Mystery and Eeriness in Photography - Developing technology that could mimic the blurred and monochromatic effects in Emil Monty Freddie's photographs can create a new genre of eerie and ghostly images.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion and Apparel - Incorporating vulnerability and realism in fashion and using untraditional poses in marketing campaigns can set a new precedent for the fashion industry.
2. Photography and Imaging - Companies that develop new technology to create eerie visual effects can provide a new and unique offering to photographers and filmmakers.
3. Home Decor and Furnishings - Vintage photography, with its nostalgic and timeless quality, can be incorporated into home decor and furnishings to create a sense of history and character.
