Angelica Ström's photography is the definition of radiant. The 19-year-old photo prodigy has a large collection of [dreamlike imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection), and these photos in particular caught my eye. Instead of using studio professional photography, Angelica opts for optically pleasing [natural light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delicate-lighting). She places her subjects near open or blinded windows that are in direct sunlight and captures the sun streaking and striping across their bodies. These [diagonal lines of light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stria-collection) slice across the subjects, illuminating small sections of them. The effect is glowing and radiant, and reminds one of waking up from a nap on a sunny afternoon. Angelica Ström's photography collection is sensationally sunlit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Optically Pleasing Natural Light:** The use of optically pleasing natural light in photography provides a radiant and glowing effect, creating unique and captivating imagery. - **Sun-streaked Photography:** Photographs that capture the sun streaking and striping across subjects, illuminating small sections of them, create a mesmerizing and ethereal look. - **Dreamlike Imagery:** The creation of dreamlike imagery through the use of natural light and specific compositions adds a unique and enchanting quality to photographs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** The photography industry can explore new techniques and concepts using natural light to create captivating and visually stunning images. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can incorporate sun-streaked photography techniques to add a radiant and ethereal touch to their work. - **Fashion:** Fashion photographers can utilize sun-streaked photography to create visually striking and radiant editorial campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Thoughtfully Designed Vibrant Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shine-collection.md) - [Physics-Based Artful Light Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-collection-1.md) - [Sunset-Sharing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharing-sunset.md) - [Vibrant Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-primitivism.md) - [Sun-Lit Anniversary Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corona-100-years.md) - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md) - [Immersive Light Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spencer-finch.md) - [Sun-Soaked Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-hour-getaway-collection.md) - [Window-Emulating Lighting Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/window-chronicles.md)
