# Surreal Childhood Revisited Photography 'Baby Blues' Features Moms in Youthful Scenarios By Sarah Dos Santos | Published 2013-12-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childhood-revisited References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/BABY-BLUES/12752695) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/guias) 'Baby Blues' is a childhood revisited photography series by Parisian photographer Guia Besana. In this series, female figures -- specifically [mothers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/molly-baz1) -- are placed in childish settings and get into role as if they were still little girls. Crawling up the stairs, lying flat on a rug, pretending to be a fairy, [collecting Barbies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-mattel-x-moma) and making a mess -- each of these woman takes on a role and exhibits it so well. The series is incredibly bizarre, especially in the image where a woman lies in a crib with her son. She looks like an elder sibling in her plaid dress and messy hair. This childhood revisited series brings [nostalgic moments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teletubbies-say-hello) of youth into adulthood but with the strong focused light and dark, overwhelming shadows the series seems eerie and haunting. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Childhood Revisited Photography:** There is an opportunity to disrupt the photography industry by capturing nostalgia and portraying it in an eerie, haunting manner like Guia Besana's 'Baby Blues' photography series. - **Maternal Childhood Roleplay:** Businesses can explore the trend of mothers revisiting their childhood roles as opportunities to offer products and services that cater to maternal roleplay. - **Merging Childhood and Adulthood:** There is an opportunity to disrupt the creative industry by merging childhood and adulthood in surreal ways that provoke emotional reactions and nostalgia, like Guia Besana's 'Baby Blues' photography series. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Guia Besana's 'Baby Blues' photography series disrupts the photography industry by capturing nostalgia and portraying it in an eerie, haunting manner, creating a new photography niche. - **Maternal Products:** Businesses can create maternal roleplay products geared towards moms and tap into the trend of mothers revisiting their childhood roles. - **Creative Industry:** The merging of childhood and adulthood in surreal ways like Guia Besana's 'Baby Blues' photography series offers an opportunity to disrupt the creative industry with new and unconventional ideas. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI Baby Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newborn-photography1.md) - [Whimsical Childlike Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-eternal-child.md) - [Analog Nostalgia Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-basics-ii.md) - [Personal Nostalgic Photo Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-ohio.md) - [Retro Doll-Themed Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-film-camera.md) - [Faceless Mother Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-mothers.md) - [Imperfect Photography Celebrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam.md) - [Maternal-Themed Sculptural Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mother-and-child.md) - [Art-Inspired Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-mattel-x-moma.md)
