# Glam Damsel Portraiture Elle Muliarchyk's 'Dolce Vita Project' Features Grayscale Self-Portraits By Meghan Young | Published 2010-05-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dolce-vita-project References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Dolce-Vita-Project/517658) & [afgmanagement](http://www.afgmanagement.com/ellemuliarchyk/fashion.html) If I could take [self-portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persona-ai) like those found in the 'Dolce Vita Project' by the ever-stunning Elle Muliarchyk, I would be in front of the camera constantly. I think it has to do with the fact that Muliarchyk is a model-turned-photographer. Best known for her [change-room portraits](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guerrilla-model-elle-muliarchyk), Elle Muliarchyk's 'Dolce Vita Project' explores a more 'film noir' theme that is exceptionally glamorous and slightly poignant.
