# Blurred Body Photography The Boo Saville Self Portrait Series is Obscurely Personal By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-01-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boo-saville-self-portrait References: [devidsketchbook](http://devidsketchbook.com/post/41218837407/self-portrait-by-boo-saville-artist-boo-saville) & [boosaville](http://boosaville.com/Photography) All the blurriness and shadowy effects of the Boo Saville Self Portrait photography series forces the viewer to take a step back in order to get a sense of what is happening in each image. Completely nude, except for a few potential wisps of sheer material, the artist seems to be exposing herself to the world through this collection of artistic, [motion-inspired images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1). However, no defining facial features or private body parts are actually identifiable in this series as the artist is still withholding a part of herself, not letting viewers get too close. The [shadowy figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightware-series) and soft, fading lines of the Boo Saville Self Portrait photography series creates a sense of delicacy, with the artist being swayed by a breeze. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Blurred Body Photography:** Create immersive and enigmatic photography that challenges the viewer's perception of the human form. - **Obscured Self-portraits:** Explore the use of shadows and blurriness to express personal vulnerability and maintain a level of anonymity in self-portrait photography. - **Motion-inspired Imagery:** Capture expressive and dynamic moments through photography by incorporating elements of movement and fluidity. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fine Art Photography:** Innovate the field of fine art photography by experimenting with unconventional techniques that challenge traditional notions of portraiture. - **Fashion Photography:** Introduce a new level of artistic and abstract elements into fashion photography by incorporating blurred body techniques and enigmatic compositions. - **Personal Branding:** Utilize blurred body photography as a unique and captivating way to express personal identity and distinguish oneself in the competitive realm of personal branding. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Group Face Blurring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blur-faces.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Sexuality-Exploring Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-arts-club.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Boundary-Pushing Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/briony-douglas-1.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [AI-Generated Selfies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreambooth.md) - [Unretouched Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dove-reimagine-beauty.md)
