# Noble Pet Photography These Fancy Animals Get Dressed Up and Photographed by Maria Rosenblatt By Cadhla Gray | Published 2015-10-31 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fancy-animals References: [sobadsogood](http://sobadsogood.com/2015/10/27/youll-love-these-portraits-pets-being-fancy-nobility/) & [mariarosenblatt](http://www.mariarosenblatt.com/Animals/) Maria Rosenblatt creates and takes these glorious images of fancy animals in a collection titled, 'Portraits of the Soul.' Not just limited to cats and dogs, there are even noble horses in these photographs. The images showcase simple homemade props that take the creatures from household pets to animal royalty. The props range from headpieces made of feathers, to 1800s frilled collars to heirloom-like [bejeweled necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruff-gems). There are even capes and floral bow ties involved, giving the creatures a more mature fashion sense than their owners. The creative photographer aims to put the fancy animals in an aristocratic light, humorously showing off how adorable the pets are. Most of the animals were [adopted from shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personality-pics), as Maria uses this creative project to raise awareness about animals that still need a home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Pet Fashion Photography:** Opportunity to explore the intersection of fashion, pets, and photography, creating visually stunning images that showcase the personality and style of animals. - **Adoptable Pet Promotion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to use creative pet photography to raise awareness and drive adoptions from shelters, highlighting the unique personalities of shelter animals. - **DIY Pet Props:** Opportunity to tap into the demand for unique and creative pet accessories by offering DIY prop ideas and tutorials for pet owners to create their own personalized photo shoots. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for photographers to specialize in pet photography and offer unique, fashion-inspired photo shoots for pets and their owners. - **Pet Fashion:** Opportunity for pet fashion brands to collaborate with photographers and create fashion-forward accessories and clothing tailored specifically for stylish pet photography sessions. - **Animal Shelters:** Opportunity for animal shelters to partner with creative photographers to capture captivating images of shelter animals that can be used for adoption promotions and marketing campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Custom Pet Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-mom.md) - [Luxury Pet Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giobagnara.md) - [AI Pet Photo Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pawfoto.md) - [Festive Pet Photo-Op Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-portraits-of-pets.md) - [Pet-Taken Camera Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartography.md) - [AI Pet Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawmypet.md) - [Personalized Pet-Inspired Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petinspired-ornament.md) - [AI Pet Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-lens-ai.md) - [Luxury Artful Veterinary Clinics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-animal-hospital.md)
