She has put together a stunningly dark series of [psychic-themed photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1). Yet Elle Muliarchyk has a more concrete purpose for this portfolio than simply exploring a [mystic realm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fatesync-ai). She writes, "I wanted to conduct an experiment on how our appearance -- our outer shell affects and directly creates our fortunes." Following the path of model Meghan Collison, Elle Muliarchyk had her embody a [different personality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take) (i.e. hippie, goth) as she visited various psychics around the city. According to Elle Muliarchyk, "The experiment was a total success -- each of those psychics thought Meghan was a different girl and gave her a totally different fortune!" ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Psychic-themed Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to explore the mystical world and create captivating images that resonate with viewers. - **Appearance-based Fortunes:** Potential for businesses to offer services that analyze individuals' appearances and provide personalized predictions or fortune readings based on their outer shell. - **Multiple Personalities in Photography:** Innovation opportunity for photographers to experiment with capturing the essence of different personalities through visual storytelling and character transformation. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** The photography industry can leverage the trend of psychic-themed photography to create unique and captivating images that stand out in the market. - **Beauty and Personal Styling:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the beauty and personal styling industry to offer appearance-based fortune-telling services that cater to individuals seeking insights into their future based on their physical attributes. - **Creative Arts and Entertainment:** Opportunity for creative professionals in the arts and entertainment industry to explore and showcase the concept of multiple personalities through visual storytelling, performances, and immersive experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tarot-Inspired Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tarotinspired-phone-case.md) - [Clairvoyance-Inspired High-End Makeup Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clairvoyance-makeup.md) - [Content Creator Tarot Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tarot-with-youtube.md) - [Digital Tarot Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spellboundbytee.md) - [Personalized Digital Spells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mysticmorwen.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Fortune-Telling Cereal Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charmology.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Personalized Fragrance Readings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragrance-reading.md)
