The models take on religious roles in a portrait series lensed by An Le. The photographer works alongside art director Huy Vo, capturing an intriguing image set that is both [cinematic and controversial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) in its subject matter. Wardrobe styling duo Kevin Wu and Heather Parcell dress Huyen in glam gowns while Sean and Stan pose in [underwear looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat) and priest-approved attire. Daring to [push the envelope](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection), the photo shoot's concept revolves around an unfaithful priest who engages in sinful behaviour with both a man and a woman. The artfully shot 3 Faint editorial features striking symbolic imagery and an edgy take on religious beliefs in a modern society. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Controversial Art:** Art that pushes boundaries and challenges societal norms can spark public attention and generate conversations on topics that are often considered taboo. - **Cinematic Photography:** Photography that relies on unique perspectives, lighting, and composition to evoke emotions and create a captivating visual story can offer new ways to communicate narratives. - **Subversive Fashion:** Fashion that challenges conventions and traditional gender norms can make powerful statements, redefine beauty standards and generate new discourse around contemporary issues. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Culture:** Art galleries, museums, and art institutions can create platforms to challenge boundaries and showcase daring and thought-provoking art that can spark public attention. - **Photography:** Photography studios and publications can adopt new styles and techniques that break away from traditional photography and embrace breathtaking and unconventional visuals. - **Fashion Design:** Fashion brands and designers can explore new frontiers in fashion by subverting conventional gender norms and creating clothing that challenges societal expectations and values. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Naughty Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diesels-xxxmas.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Provocative Fall Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borntostandout-fall-2024.md) - [Sin-Inspired Artful Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sinful-feast.md)
