# Eccentric Domina Photography Maya Nightingale's Ali de Marketa Series is Strangely Playful By Meghan Young | Published 2011-01-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ali-de-marketa References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/AliDeMarketa/785022) & [miumajarbonmade](http://miumaja.carbonmade.com) Until I stumbled upon the Ali de Marketa photo series, I never thought that [dominatrix-type females](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren) could look so eccentric or playful. I guess that's the charm behind this [edgy, futuristic photo shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/betterstudio). Photographed by Maya Nightingale, the Ali de Marketa photo series focuses entirely on the model. Although it is an otherwise [minimalist shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity), the model takes on her character seamlessly. It certainly helps that Nightingale had makeup artist Thea Adora Bauer and hair stylist Matej Komar on her team. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eccentric Fashion Photography:** There is an opportunity to explore the eccentric high-fashion photography market and create innovative and imaginative photo series. - **Futuristic Imagery:** Incorporating futuristic or sci-fi elements into photography can lead to new and creative ways of storytelling and portrayal of characters. - **Minimalist Photography:** Exploring the potential of minimalist photography can lead to a unique style and potential innovation in the field. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** Fashion brands, designers, and photographers can take inspiration from eccentric fashion photography and incorporate similar elements into their campaigns and collections. - **Entertainment Industry:** Filmmakers and production designers can incorporate futuristic imagery in their movies and TV shows to enhance storytelling and world-building. - **Beauty Industry:** Makeup artists and hair stylists can experiment with unconventional looks and techniques to create new and exciting character portrayals, such as the case with Ali de Marketa series. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrant Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-primitivism.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Mock Social Good Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-models-own.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Playful Abstract Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shape-of-play.md) - [Design-Centric Dynamic Artful Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artful-cake.md)
