I'm really liking Cig Harvey's [photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color) for a number of reasons. The two topmost of which focus on her style and her subject. [Soft and vintage-like](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrova), her photos seem like they belong in a different era, yet there is also a peculiarity about each image that showcases Cig Harvey's eccentric imagination.

A [British photographer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/assemblage-7-lost-and-found-ii), Cig Harvey is now based in Boston. Often a part of her own shoots, she shapes stories with her camera.
