# Disquieting Disconnected Photography The Alienate Me Series is Eerily Expressionless By Meghan Young | Published 2011-08-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alienate-me References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Alienate-me/1317249) & [blacklight-studio](http://www.blacklight-studio.com) There is a disquieting vibe to the Alienate Me series that has much to do with the [disconnected theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take) that is at the center of this shoot. With vacant eyes and an expressionless face, model Vanessa beautifully portrays a woman who wants to abandon and be abandoned. The [eerie makeup and hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela) by Giorgio Accettura definitely help with this portrayal. Shot by Milan-based [Black Light Studio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrialstyle-lighting), the Alienate Me series also has an archaic aesthetic despite the rather modern styling done by Marcos Vinicius Pires. Alternating between basic, black looks that seem fit for a practitioner of dark magic to layered, colorful outfits that are perfect for contemporary women, the Alienate Me series seems to play with the idea of a woman confused with her identity as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Disquieting Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new techniques and styles to capture disquieting and emotionally evocative photography. - **Disconnected Themes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate disconnected themes and emotions into various forms of art, fashion, or media to engage and challenge audiences. - **Archaic Aesthetics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine traditional and ancient aesthetics with modern elements for a unique and captivating visual expression. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create fashion collections that evoke disquiet and exploration of disconnected themes in order to captivate and challenge consumers. - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new photography techniques and styles that capture the essence of disconnection and intrigue, pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling. - **Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Use different mediums and techniques to depict archaic aesthetics combined with modern elements, creating thought-provoking and visually striking artworks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.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) - [Conceptual Memory-Themed Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paranoid-fw25.md) - [Mock Social Good Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-models-own.md) - [Vibrant Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-primitivism.md)
