# Alabaster Skin Photography Andrew & Lili's 'Porcelaine' Features Impeccably Pale Skin By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-05-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andrew-lili-porcelaine References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/porcelaine/232143) & [photodom](http://www.photodom.com/photographer/ayakovlev) Andrew & Lili's 'Porcelaine' photo set features gorgeous clothing and a beautiful model with flawless alabaster skin. The model's [porcelain complexion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-001-artistry-mask) and dark hair made me think of Snow White--a comparison that is made even more feasible in the shots where she is wearing a long blue gown. Check out some other photo shoots below that similarly feature models with alabaster skin. **Implications** - Pop culture tends to focus on tan skin, but porcelain skin is equally attractive. These photographers chose to highlight a model with alabaster skin, bucking the sun-kissed theme seen in other photo shoots. Creative professionals can take advantage of this opportunity by similarly embracing aesthetics that run counter to what is seen elsewhere in the industry. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Alabaster Skin Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to showcase models with alabaster skin, challenging the traditional focus on tan skin. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for fashion photographers to feature models with alabaster skin, breaking away from the sun-kissed theme. - **Beauty Products:** Opportunity for beauty industry to promote products catering to porcelain skin, embracing the appeal of alabaster complexion. - **Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for advertisers to feature alabaster-skinned models, offering an alternative image ideal to the traditional tan skin. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Almond-Toned Skin Musks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cashmere-skin.md) - [Elegant Pressed Finishing Powders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pressed-finishing-powder.md) - [Blurred Soft-Focus Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-touch-finish-collection.md) - [Pearly Tonal Premium Kitchenware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porcelain-white.md) - [White-Tonal Paint Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whitescale.md) - [Skin-Blurring Powder Blushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-focus-blurring-blush.md) - [Monochrome Sculpture Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ralph-pucci-pure-exhibition.md) - [All-Asian Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maybelline-face-the-difference.md) - [Runway-Inspired Peel-Off Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-001-artistry-mask.md)
