# Enchanting Floral Portraits In Bloom by Bella Kotak is a Magical Series Straight Out of Fairytales By Meghan Young | Published 2015-05-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bella-kotak References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/behind-the-lens-bella-kotak-natured-inspired-portraits) & [bellakotak](http://www.bellakotak.com/) Bella Kotak appears to live in her own fairytale by the looks of her latest photo series, In Bloom. Full of magical scenes, she captures regal women as they channel their inner forest princess. People might even interpret them as manifestations of the [flowers they are surrounded by](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany). After all, they match their scenes perfectly. Bella Kotak even shares some of her techniques with My Modern Met on achieving such enchanting images. Based in Oxford, England, Bella Kotak considers herself not only a [fashion and conceptual photographer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-of-yves-saint-laurent), but also an architect, traveler, and nature enthusiast. She shares, "The main inspiration for In Bloom comes from nature, flowers, the beauty and colors of ever-changing seasons, my beautiful muses (often friends), pre-Raphaelite paintings which I love so much, Greek nymphs and their stories, royalty in fairytales and ideas of a character’s journey in a darker nature driven world." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Magical Scenes:** Opportunity for creating immersive experiences with enchanting and whimsical themes. - **Nature-inspired Art:** Opportunity for artists to explore the beauty and colors of the natural world in their creations. - **Fantasy Fashion Photography:** Opportunity for fashion photographers to incorporate fantasy elements into their shoots and storytelling. ### Who This Affects Most - **Event Planning:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in creating fantastical themed events and weddings. - **Art Supplies:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in developing specialized materials and tools for nature-inspired art. - **Fashion and Beauty:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in designing and marketing fashion and beauty products inspired by fantasy themes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Immersive Garden Bar Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/americas-first-botanical-garden.md) - [Tarot-Inspired Floral Bouquets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowerlore-collection.md) - [Women-Led Toronto Florists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/may-flowers.md) - [Intricate Fairytale-Like Makeup Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-essential-sets.md) - [Petal-Inspired Glass Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloom-wall-light.md) - [Hand-Painted Watercolor Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-webster.md) - [Detailed Ceramic Book Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biblio-bloom.md) - [Chalk Streams Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-conceptual-landscape-photographer.md)
