# Eerie Form Photography Eylul Aslan Lenses a Mysterious Perspective of Reality By Sophia Pelka | Published 2012-03-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eylul-aslan References: [holyghostzine](http://www.holyghostzine.com/2012/03/eylul-aslan.html) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/yllparisienne/page4/) Eylul Aslan is a [young amateur photographer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photography-seoul-museum-of-art) from Istanbul, Turkey. Her works are heavily focused on form, drawing on the mystification of reality. She also heavily plays on nostalgia, using [warm tones and soft focus techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-ohio) to allure the viewer. Each work, though relatable, is slightly abstract. The audience is immediately engaged in identifying the scene, and then forming a personal narrative. Though minimalist, the photographs carry a heavy emotional weight. The central motif appears to be isolation, putting emphasis on the solitude of the subject. While the forms are concrete, there is a consistency throughout the works that an element is missing. At the same time, the works are nonsensical and explicitly realistic. Eylul Aslan has a masterful eyes for [simple compositional style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-within-the-detour) and narrative strengths. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Abstract Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing new techniques and equipment to create minimalist abstract photographs with strong emotional impact. - **Nostalgic Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating new ways of evoking nostalgia in photography through the use of warm tones and soft focus techniques. - **Narrative-driven Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in exploring new methods of utilizing photography to create narrative-driven works that engage the audience in forming personal narratives. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the photography industry through the development of new equipment, techniques, and platforms to support minimalist abstract, nostalgic, and narrative-driven photography. - **Art:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the art industry by incorporating minimalist abstract, nostalgic, and narrative-driven photography into galleries, exhibitions, and art collections. - **Branding and Advertising:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in leveraging minimalist abstract, nostalgic, and narrative-driven photography to create unique and engaging visual content for branding and advertising campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Gem-Like Sculptural Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cylindrical-lenses.md) - [Immersive Light Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Art-Inspired Streetwear Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silent-echoes.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Emotional Light Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miror-collection.md)
