# Playfully Surreal Portraits Audrey Simper Creates Enchantingly Surreal Female Portraits By Lacey-Jane Walsh | Published 2014-01-18 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audrey-simper References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/audrey-simper-creative-photography) & [audreysimper](http://audreysimper.com/) Photographer Audrey Simper is responsible for these [softly surreal portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1), which focus on women in enchanting nature-filled settings. These [whimsical shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow) capture youthful women frolicking, mostly outside, in a way that seems magical. In one of these striking shots a [sleeping beauty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepless-beauty) appears to have live goldfish leaping from her mouth. The wall in the background is painted light blue, which almost makes it seem as though she's sleeping under water like a mermaid. In another shot a winged woman dressed in white is seen resting against a tree deep in the woods, which makes her seem like a fairy. Other shots feature women resting on clouds, and girls surrounded by oversized everyday objects (which makes them look like modern day Thumbelinas). These majestic female-focused shots empower women by portraying them as supernatural, stunning individuals. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Soft Surrealism:** Opportunities exist to create campaigns for products that embody dreamlike and imaginative qualities. - **Supernatural Portraiture:** Businesses could incorporate fantastical themes in advertising and marketing materials to capture the attention of young, dreamy audiences. - **Nature-focused Imagery:** Opportunities to produce immersive digital experiences using surrealist natural imagery. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Audrey Simper's dreamlike photography could inspire marketing campaigns that convey a sense of whimsical beauty. - **Fashion:** Clothing companies could use surrealistic imagery in branding to convey a compelling artistic voice. - **Interior Design:** Designers could take inspiration from the ethereal nature-focused imagery for nature-inspired interior designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Hand-Painted Watercolor Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-webster.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Artsy Surrealist Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gohar-world.md) - [Surrealist Shopping Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreams-is.md) - [Striking Glass Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-portraits.md) - [Summer-Inspired Photo Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-dreaming-collection.md)
