# Submissive Circus Shoots 'Cirque Noir' from Cameron Ballensky Requires a Safety Word to View By Michael Hines | Published 2010-10-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cameron-ballensky References: [fashionserved](http://www.fashionserved.com/gallery/Cirque-Noir/680596) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/CameronBallensky/frame) If you're into clowns being tied up and ridden like horses, then Cameron Ballensky's 'Cirque Noir' is the photo shoot for you. This series is captured in [black and white](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frames-booth), featuring a male clown contorted into all sorts of [compromising positions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty). If the circus looked anything like 'Cirque Noir,' I would definitely shell out for front row seats. An indescribable form of sexiness secretes from Cameron Ballensky's snapshots. I can't wait until the circus comes to town again. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fetish-themed Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating a niche market for fetish-themed photography that appeals to a specific audience. - **Alternative Circus Performances:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing alternative circus performances that push boundaries and explore unconventional themes. - **Non-traditional Art Exhibitions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Curating non-traditional art exhibitions that challenge societal norms and spark conversations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring new genres and styles of photography to cater to niche audiences. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing innovative and daring forms of entertainment that offer unique experiences and attract niche audiences. - **Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redefining what is considered 'acceptable' or 'beautiful' art by pushing boundaries and challenging traditional notions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [All-Black Touring Burlesque Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touring-burlesque-company.md) - [Circus Tent-Inspired Holiday Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-circus.md) - [Sex-Positive Art Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carne-bollente-3.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Surreal Dark Comedy Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazing-digital-circus.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Hipster Era Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cobrasnake-y2ks-archive.md) - [Sexuality-Exploring Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-arts-club.md) - [Three-Part Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhinoceros-gallery1.md)
