[Vintage black-and-white photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) have the ability to bring about feelings of nostalgia, but their eerie quality also brings forth a ghostly or haunting sense, as captured perfectly in Emil Monty Freddie's series of Kamille portraits.

The Dutch photographer shines new light on the standard [lingerie shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty) by snapping shots of new model Kamille in untraditional and almost typically unflattering poses, exposing a [vulnerability and fragility](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova) in the woman. The monochromatic and blurred effects give a mysterious quality to the photos, almost like they were never meant to be seen by anyone else's eyes.

While I completely embrace glamorous fashion shoots, there is something about Emil Monty Freddie's Kamille portraits that leaves a lasting impression, and comes across as much more than just a fashion photoset.
