# Underwater Fairytale Photography Little Girl Mermaid Imagery by Elena Kalis By Dana K. | Published 2009-04-06 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazing-underwater-photography-fairytale-imagery-by-elena-kalis References: [community.livejournal](http://community.livejournal.com/ruguru/789524.html) & [elenakalisrbonmade](http://elenakalis.carbonmade.com/) Elena Kalis’s ethereal mermaids give you a million reasons to look at their underwater dance over and over again. The movement, the colors, the breathtaking lighting, the fluid still objects, the joy and pleasure they inspire make me feel frustrated that the expression “incredible lightness of being” is already taken. Kalis shot this amazing project in the Bahamas; maybe it’s a place like this that inspires such a tender approach. The photos belong to several series with appealing names like Pure Pleasure, Fun Fair, Circus or Princess Orchid. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Underwater Photography:** The trend of underwater photography presents an opportunity for photographers to capture unique and ethereal images in a submerged setting. - **Mermaid Imagery:** The trend of mermaid imagery provides an opportunity for artists and photographers to incorporate fantasy and whimsy into their work, creating captivating visuals. - **Ethereal Lighting:** The trend of using ethereal lighting in photography offers an opportunity for photographers to enhance the mood and atmosphere of their images, creating a dreamy and magical effect. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** The photography industry can explore underwater photography and mermaid imagery as new and unique niches, attracting clients who desire creative and imaginative visuals. - **Art:** The art industry can embrace the trend of mermaid imagery to create stunning and whimsical artworks that captivate viewers and evoke a sense of wonder and fantasy. - **Event Planning:** The event planning industry can incorporate the trend of ethereal lighting in themed events, such as underwater or fantasy-themed parties, to create a magical and enchanting ambiance. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mermaid-Inspired Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shells-jewel-collection.md) - [Color-Changing Mermaid Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mermaid-doll.md) - [Mermaid Fashion Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mermaid-high-fashion-dolls.md) - [Film-Resembling Mermaid Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-mermaid-doll.md) - [Career-Driven Fairy Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-ella.md) - [Fairytale-Inspired Beauty Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairytales-collection.md) - [Aquatic Doll Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mermaze-mermaidz.md) - [Storybook-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mischief-academy.md) - [Aquatic Cosmetic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-the-little-mermaid-collection.md)
