# Photographing Skirts as Flowers Crinoline Flowers by Daryl Banks By Ayman | Published 2008-08-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crinoline-flowers-daryl-banks References: [darylbanks](http://www.darylbanks.com/crinolineflowers.html) I love creative fun photography that is based on a simple idea. This **Crinoline Flowers** set by Toronto-based photographer Daryl Banks is a great example of such photography. The art direction behind this project is pretty simple: create [colorful flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany) with [ruffled skirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ohana-hatake) and female legs. However, with his excellent execution, the result is eye catching, flirtatious, and purely fun art. **Implications** - I bet most guys don't really think of flowers when the underside of skirts come up, but these images just might change that. With bright-colored skirts popping off of a black background, these images really do look like weird flowers blooming in an empty field. It's a little [whimsical](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025), like something out of Alice in Wonderland. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Creative Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to explore unique and fun ideas in their work. - **Artistic Direction:** Potential for artists to create visually appealing and playful projects. - **Perception Shift:** Possibility of changing traditional associations and perceptions through visual storytelling. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** Exploration of new concepts and ideas in the field of photography. - **Art:** Integration of creative and whimsical elements in art projects. - **Fashion:** Incorporation of unconventional elements and designs in fashion industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floral-Imbued Fashion Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-of-yves-saint-laurent.md) - [Flower-Inspired Vibrant Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espressionismo-floreale.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Artist-Inspired Flower Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belgiandesigner.md) - [Stunning Dried Flower Arrangements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/east-olivia.md) - [Floral-Inspired Sculptural Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-power.md) - [Floral-Inspired Home Rug Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magical-garden.md) - [Women-Led Toronto Florists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/may-flowers.md)
