# Hairily Masked Faces Big Head Poetry by Maia Flore is Quirky and Creepy By Meghan Young | Published 2014-03-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-head-poetry References: [trendland](http://trendland.com/big-head-poetry-by-maia-flore/) & [maiaflore](http://www.maiaflore.com/personal/big-head-poetry/) The Big Head Poetry photo series involves a theme that is one part quirky, one part creepy and entirely imaginative. Although the name of the portrait series doesn't give much away, it does center around a few heads. Yet the faces belonging to these nameless heads have been obscured by the person's hair. Wrapped rather than draped like the girl from 'The Ring,' the Big Head Poetry series is, thankfully, more artistic than horrifying. Shot by photographer Maia Flore, who dabbled with the idea back in [2010](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maia-flore), the Big Head Poetry series is captured against colorful backdrops that makes it more feminine and whimsical. It also helps that flowers are placed where the models' mouths would be for an added element. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Head-obstructed Portraits:** This trend of obstructing faces with hair or other objects presents an opportunity for photographers to create unique and mysterious portraits. - **Feminine and Whimsical Photography:** The trend of using colorful backdrops and floral elements in photography provides an opportunity for photographers to create dreamy and enchanting images. - **Artistic Obscuration:** The trend of using artistic methods to obscure faces opens up possibilities for creative expression and experimentation in photography. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** The photography industry can embrace the trend of creating unique and captivating portraits by obstructing faces and incorporating artistic elements. - **Fashion and Beauty:** The fashion and beauty industry can draw inspiration from the trend of using feminine and whimsical photography to showcase their products in a dreamy and enchanting way. - **Art:** The art industry can explore the trend of using artistic methods to obscure faces and create visually intriguing and thought-provoking pieces of art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Powered Poetry Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poetry-camera.md) - [AI-Powered Poem Booths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poem-booth.md) - [Artistic AI-Powered Poetry Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pamera.md) - [Big-Headed Sculpture Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpture-pots.md) - [Image-To-Poetry Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-data-poets.md) - [Polaroid-Inspired Poetry Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poetroid.md) - [Visual Poetry Creation Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poetry-creation.md) - [Human Hair-Made Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/range-of-pots.md) - [Surrealist Beauty Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletpaper-magazine.md)
