# Flour-Coated Portraits This Photography Series Features Powder-Covered Human Portraits By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-09-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/covered-human References: [emiliemori](http://www.emiliemori.com/explosive) Photographer Emilie Mori created this series of [flour-covered human portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-gateau-powder-compact) which uses actual flour powder. The artists begins each portrait by coating her subjects in an [edible powder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easy-bake-airbrush-matte). Then, the subjects fling their heads back and forth while the photographer captures still images of them. Each of the photographs reveals an interesting view of a flour-covered [human whose face is often hidden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-portrait-studio) by a cloud of dust. Both males and female subjects star in this photography collection. Each of the subjects has long hair, which allows the flour to be flung in an elegant and random stream. The series titled 'Explosive' aims to evoke both sexuality and spirituality within the viewer. The images are photographed against a dark backdrop that enhances the white flour and engulfs each frame with a surreal and mystical fog. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Flour-coated Portraits:** Exploring unconventional materials in photography to create intriguing and unique portraits. - **Physical Interaction in Photography:** Using dynamic movements and actions to capture visually striking images. - **Symbolism and Atmosphere in Photography:** Creating captivating photographs that convey deep emotions and evoke a sense of mystery through the use of props and backdrops. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Incorporating unconventional materials and techniques in photography to stand out in a saturated market. - **Art and Design:** Exploring unique approaches and materials in artistic expression to create visually arresting works. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Employing visually striking and provocative imagery to capture audience attention and convey brand messaging. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Agriculturally Inspired Art Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farming-photographs.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [AI-Powered Portrait Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-portrait-studio.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Functional Gingerbread Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-camera.md) - [Whimsical AI Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clayify.md)
