# Dreamy Italian Portraits Alizee Omaly Has An Unique Aesthetic That is Hazy, Hip, and Heavenly By Jordan Sowunmi | Published 2011-09-11 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alizee-omaly References: [photodonuts](http://photodonuts.com/alizee-omaly) & [alizee-omaly.blogspot](http://alizee-omaly.blogspot.com/) Looking through Alizee Omaly's selected portfolio, it's virtually impossible to discern from her skill level that the Italian photographer is merely 18-years-old. As a photographer, Alizee Omaly focuses on taking portraits that are pensive, engaging, mysterious, and dreamlike. Each of her images are technically proficient, often featuring deft lighting and unusual angles. Each of her photographs evoke a sense of carefree, youth living. Without being incredibly overt, she manages to bring a sense of hope, wonder, and appreciation for the Earth's natural beauty in each photograph. My favorite image in the Alizee Omaly collection is set against the backdrop of the [Italian countryside](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wanderlustinspired-essentials). Small mountains are visible in the background, and in the foreground stands a slender young woman in a blue sun-dress. Her hair obscures her face, but she is looking down, arms at her side in a [carefree waltz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection). The shot is a perfect example of what makes Alizee Omaly's work so compelling -- it is natural, enigmatic, and original. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Pensive Portraits:** There is an opportunity to disrupt the photography industry by focusing on capturing portraits that are thoughtful, engaging, and mysterious. - **Dreamlike Photography:** There is potential for disruptive innovation by exploring techniques that create dreamy and ethereal images, evoking a sense of wonder and escapism. - **Youthful Aesthetic:** An opportunity exists to disrupt the photography market by catering to the demand for images that evoke a feeling of youthfulness, freedom, and natural beauty. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** In the photography industry, there is room for disruptive innovation by exploring new approaches and techniques to capture unique and captivating portraits. - **Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the art industry lie in creating dreamlike and enigmatic artwork that sparks wonder and appreciation for natural beauty. - **Fashion:** In the fashion industry, there is potential for disruptive innovation by incorporating a youthful and carefree aesthetic in branding and visual representation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Timelessly Charming Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mi-amor-collection.md) - [Intricate Bridal Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heli-kalkstein.md) - [Dreamy Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection.md) - [Summer-Inspired Photo Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-dreaming-collection.md) - [Hand-Painted Watercolor Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-webster.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Vibrant Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-primitivism.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md)
