# Models as Zoo Animals Momchil Hristov Locks Up Beautiful Women in ‘Beauty is the Beast’ By Michael Hines | Published 2010-03-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-is-the-beast References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/monokul/frame/340391) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/monokul/frame) I’d definitely visit the zoo in Momchil Hristov’s ‘Beauty is the Beast’. Certain woman are just too beautiful for the general public. This shoot has the smartest title I have seen in awhile. Never has a title been so blunt, yet effective. The photos in ‘Beauty is the Beast’ are equally brilliant. Hristov manages to turn [beautiful women](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/you-are-amazing) into [wild animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-intelligence) with just a few bars…and in one shot, a [tiger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endangered-animal-lip-balm). Now you too can enjoy all the caged in beauty you want. Admission is free. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Animalistic Photography:** Creating animalistic portraits with models as visual representations of wild animals. - **Beauty Objectification:** Exploring the concept of beauty as objectification through photography. - **Provocative Art:** Pushing the boundaries of provocation through use of models and animal imagery. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** Opportunities for photographers to experiment with unconventional photography techniques. - **Fashion:** Use of animalistic photography in fashion campaigns and editorials. - **Art and Design:** Exploration of boundary-pushing concepts in the art and design world. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mock Social Good Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-models-own.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Bold Zoo Hotel Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reserve-hotel.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Untamed Nature-Inspired Jewelry Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/untamed-nature.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Sustainable Statement Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animalia.md) - [Unretouched Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dove-reimagine-beauty.md) - [Beauty-Inspired Guided Tours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loreal-and-the-louvre.md)
