Skull-Faced Photography

Intuition by Carsten Witte is Haunting

— February 23, 2012 — Tech
Intuition by Carsten Witte is a series of photographs that displays the skull-painted faces of young and attractive women. The images are quite spooky to look at because of the black and white coloring and the deadpan expressions on the women's faces.

Witte's main idea behind this photo series was to show that beauty can and will fade faster than one thinks, but photography can "preserve the moment." Hopefully good looks don't fade as fast as the women in Intuition otherwise one's social life would come to a halt when they hit their mid 20s.

Intuition by Carsten Witte reminds one that beauty does in fact come and go in the blink of an eye. In that case, one must live in the moment and preserve that moment with photographs.
Trend Themes
1. Skull-faced Photography Trend - There is an opportunity to capitalize on the growing trend of unconventional photography in fashion and art to create unique and striking visual content.
2. Preserving the Moment Trend - There is an opportunity to market photography as a means of preserving fleeting moments to customers looking to capture and immortalize important events.
3. The Beauty of Impermanence - There is an opportunity to promote the idea that beauty is fleeting and that customers should embrace the transient nature of life, and capture it boldly in creative ways.
Industry Implications

3. Fine Art Photography Industry - There is an opportunity for fine art photographers to explore new themes, and showcase unconventional works that challenge conventional beauty standards and expose the fragility of human existence.
