# Futuristically Gothic Photography Emma Falkenstrom by Atif Abu-Samra is Gorgeously Regal By Meghan Young | Published 2013-06-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-falkenstrom-by-atif-abusamra References: [fashionising](http://www.fashionising.com/pictures/b--captured-by-the-light-of-this-dark-goddess-56184.html) & [atifabusamra](http://atifabusamra.com/photographer/) The photo series starring model Emma Falkenstrom by Atif Abu-Samra, a phographer based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is at once Gothic and futuristic. By combining the two different time periods, the looks become something novel, as though straight out of a fantastical film. The blonde beauty herself is the regal heroine, or perhaps even the villain with her black lipstick and dark wardrobe, which was designed by Amato. Styled by Ginno Aldecente, the looks showcased in the photo series starring Emma Falkenstrom by Atif Abu-Samra are textured and elaborate. Nevertheless, it is the accessories that might steal people's attention. The fairytale-like headdresses are especially enchanting. Others will appreciate the strikingly flawless face courtesy of makeup artist Melanie Flores. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Futuristic Gothic Fashion:** There is an opportunity to mix historical styles and futuristic elements in fashion to create new and unique looks that stand out in the industry. - **Enchanted Accessories:** Designers could focus on creating elaborate and fantastical accessories that can capture people's attention and add to the overall concept of an outfit. - **Regal Heroines:** Promoting the idea of strong and powerful female characters as fashion icons can inspire a new wave of creative designs and marketing campaigns. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can embrace this trend and create new clothing lines with futuristic and gothic elements to attract a young and fashion-conscious audience. - **Beauty:** Beauty brands could develop makeup and skincare lines that are inspired by the Gothic/futuristic aesthetic showcased in the photo series, targeting a niche market that values unique and edgy beauty products. - **Photography:** Photographers can incorporate the trend into their visuals, experimenting with mixing historical and futuristic elements in their work to create unique and intriguing images. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Inspired Fantastical Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantastical-bridal-collection.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Gothic Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gothic-revival.md) - [Concept Eyewear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouquet-collection-1.md) - [Exploratory Rose-Centered Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Hand-Painted Watercolor Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-webster.md)
