I adore the photography of Cleo Sullivan who has nailed surrealism with images like the [cat-shaped hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dry-studio-petbrick-65) as well as more traditional styles of shooting.

Her work is recognized around the world and she has published several books, all of which were well received. Personally I love the portrait of the models on the horse and the one where the model is lounging on the back of a cow.

**Implications** - In an individuality-obsessed society, consumers are constantly looking for ways to [set themselves apart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cutmuse) from their peers. In this particular example, that effect is achieved through [outrageous hairstyles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/main-character-hair). Corporations can potentially generate a lot of revenue by offering products which satiate consumers' need to stand out from the general population.
