Ashley Anthony's skills as a photographer are varied. Some of the images in the selected Ashley Anthony portfolio showcases models that exude an aura of mystery and drama. She shows a skill for contrasting enigmatic models with gorgeous settings and backgrounds. Anthony's photographs are infused with strong, bright colors that provide her images with a distinguishing pop. My favorite image from the Ashley Anthony portfolio features a model dressed in [pink tights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by) and an ironic Cosby sweater, clutching on to a guitar. The model has her mouth open as though she's going to take a bite out of the guitar. Anthony's deft lighting and location setting makes the picture appear as though it is a shot of a rock star that belongs on the wall of every badass teenage girl with rockstar aspirations. If these images are any indication, this autodidact shutterbug has a bright future in the photography world. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Unconventional Photography:** The popularity of unconventional and offbeat photography styles presents an opportunity for photographers to explore unique creative expressions. - **Contrasting Enigmatic Models:** There is a demand for photography that juxtaposes enigmatic models with captivating settings, offering an opportunity for photographers to create visually striking and thought-provoking images. - **Vibrant Colors in Photography:** The use of strong and bright colors in photography can help images stand out and attract attention, providing an opportunity for photographers to experiment with bold color palettes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Innovations in unconventional and offbeat photography styles can disrupt the conventional photography industry and create new avenues for photographers to showcase their creativity. - **Fashion:** The use of enigmatic models in unconventional photography can be creatively applied in the fashion industry, offering new opportunities for designers to tell unique visual stories. - **Art Galleries:** Art galleries can embrace the trend of vibrant-colored photography to attract younger audiences and create immersive exhibitions that showcase the power of bold colors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Boundary-Pushing Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/briony-douglas-1.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Vibrant Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-primitivism.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Artist Connection-Focused Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-vonholten.md) - [Chic Norm-Challenging Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wiggle-collection.md) - [Eclectic Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artsy-eyewear-collection.md) - [Design-Centric Dynamic Artful Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artful-cake.md)
