# Child Icon Photography Photographer Adriana Duque Creates Paint-Like Victorian Images By Meghan Young | Published 2014-07-08 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adriana-duque References: [trendland](http://trendland.com/adriana-duques-icons/) & [zippergaleria.br](http://www.zippergaleria.com.br/en/) The work of Adriana Duque, a photographer based in Colombia, is visually striking for a number of a reasons. She photographs children as Victorian icons decked out in theatrical dresses and posed seriously among rich fabrics that often complement the outfits worn. Yet the Adriana Duque's images are captured in such a way that they appear to be classical paintings more than photographs. Portrayed as child monarchs, Adriana Duque's young models have an air of maturity that is at once endearing and off-putting. Trendland points out, "As many paintings from past eras, if proper attention isn’t given you’ll miss out an important component: all models are sporting headphones." Of course, these headphones are embellished with shimmering gold trimmings and pearl details. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Victorian-inspired Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to create visually striking images that resemble classical paintings. - **Child Monarch Portraiture:** Creating photographs of children with an air of maturity, blending innocence with a sense of sophistication. - **Embellished Headphone Accessories:** Designing headphones with luxurious details to add a touch of opulence to everyday technology. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Photographers can explore incorporating Victorian-inspired aesthetics into their portfolio, offering unique and artistic portraits. - **Children's Fashion:** Brands can design clothing that combines historical elements with modern styles, appealing to parents who appreciate vintage and elegant aesthetics for their kids. - **Luxury Electronics:** Companies can create high-end headphones with intricate embellishments, catering to consumers who seek luxurious and unique accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Understated Modernist Artful Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/child-studio-1.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Diverse African Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creativesoul.md) - [Aesthetic Stock Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dupe.md) - [Whimsical Childlike Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-eternal-child.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Color Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color.md) - [AI Baby Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newborn-photography1.md) - [Imperfect Photography Celebrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam.md)
