# Beautifully Insightful Portraiture Boris Kralj Reveals His Discerning Eye with His Portraits By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-09-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boris-kralj References: [itsnicethat](http://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/boris-kralj) & [boriskralj.de](http://www.boriskralj.de/filter/Portrait) Boris Kralj is a perceptive [photographer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1); one who can take the oft-photographed face of celebrity, and reveal something new and never-before-seen. An entirely new dimension, if you will. There's a familiarly to these portraits that Kralj cannot have acquired in the short time he's known his subjects. Yet, somehow, with his observant eye, he manages to see something beneath the surface; something he slowly, carefully draws out of his subjects, creating an enigmatic portrait. I'm sure the subject, just as much as the random viewer, is able to recognize something truly profound in their portraits. Each image conveys stunning vision, thorough insight and an intuitive understanding of who each subject is, and what they want to communicate about themselves. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Intuitive Photography:** The trend of using intuitive understanding and observation to create compelling and enigmatic portraits. - **Depth Photography:** The trend of capturing a new dimension of familiar faces in photography through insightful and perceptive techniques. - **Communicative Portraiture:** The trend of telling a story and conveying insight about the subject through portraiture. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the photography industry include developing new techniques to capture subjects in unique and intuitive ways. - **Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the art industry include finding new ways to tell stories and convey insight through portraiture. - **Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the advertising industry include using perceptive and intuitive photography to create compelling and relatable campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Striking Glass Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-portraits.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Stunningly Intricate Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boris-nmitz.md) - [AI-Generated Self-Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persona-ai.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md) - [Abstract Geometric Solo Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impermanent-state-of-being.md) - [AI Portrait Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraitify-ai-portrait-studio.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md)
