# Eerie Female Portraits These Eerie Portraits Feature Females in Harsh & Vacant Locations By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-06-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eerie-portrait References: [ignant.de](http://www.ignant.de/2015/06/17/taiwan-based-photographer-creates-beautiful-female-portraits/) & [flickr](https://www.flickr.com/photos/124507031@N07/) Taiwan-based photographer Zrdyzrdy has created a collection of eerie portraits that feature female subjects. Each image reveals a new location that appears to be inhabitable by human beings. Zrdyzrdy combats the harsh and awkward surroundings by placing [beautiful female subjects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) in the center of each photograph. The eerie portraits are a contrast between life and death. The living women bring a soft and feminine touch to the cold and lonely-looking settings. Each image portrays a new location and a different story is told with the same characteristics. Zrdyzrdy uses vacant fields, abandoned factories and [shadow-engulfed rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightware-series) as backdrops for these images. Each picture is captured with natural light, adding a realistic and raw sensation to the portraits. The females are rarely looking at the camera. They often appear to be gazing down or have their eyes shut altogether. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eerie Portraits:** Exploring the use of eerie aesthetics in portrait photography, creating opportunities for unconventional and unexpected storytelling. - **Contrast Between Life and Death:** Utilizing the juxtaposition of living subjects and desolate surroundings to evoke powerful emotions and provoke thought on the cycle of life. - **Natural Light Photography:** Embracing the use of natural light to capture a realistic and raw essence in portraiture, encouraging experimentation with lighting techniques. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** There is a growing demand for photographers who can create unique and haunting images that evoke a range of emotions. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can draw inspiration from these eerie portraits to explore unconventional aesthetics and challenge traditional artistic boundaries. - **Fashion and Beauty:** The fashion and beauty industry can leverage the haunting yet captivating atmosphere of these portraits to create bold and unique campaigns that stand out from the crowd. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [AI-Powered Portrait Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-portrait-studio.md) - [Travel Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-within-the-detour.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [AI-Powered Portrait Studio Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraius.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Art-Tech Zine Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twentynine-zine.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md)
