# Nightmarish Fairy Queen Photos These Fantasy Photos are Inspired by the Evil Maleficent By Mesel Isaac | Published 2013-11-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantasy-photos References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/MALEFICENT-STILISTEN-winter-2013/12374127) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/porodina) These fantasy photos by photographer Elizaveta Porodina have model Laura O'Grady dressed and posing as the evil fairy god mother Maleficent. Maleficent is the self-proclaimed "Mistress of All Evil," and that is exactly the feeling that is conjured by the photographs. The harsh and dark colors combined with the clothing as well as the models stern expressions create not just feelings of darkness but as if one is staring at evil itself. These [Gothic photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-high-skullector-elvira) are further complemented by the headdress worn by Ms. O'Grady help to keep your eyes transfixed on her. Maleficent curses Princess Aurora after not being invited to her birthday in the [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney) movie Sleeping Beauty. Laura O'Grady does such a great job channeling her in these fantasy photos that I've already sent her invitation to my next birthday party at Laser Quest. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Gothic Fantasy Photography:** This trend presents disruptive innovation opportunities for photographers to experiment with dark and surreal themes, creating unique and captivating visual experiences. - **Evil Fairy Fashion:** This trend offers disruptive innovation opportunities for fashion designers to incorporate dark, edgy elements into their designs, appealing to consumers who embrace alternative and gothic aesthetics. - **Character-inspired Photoshoots:** This trend provides disruptive innovation opportunities for photographers to collaborate with models and bring fictional characters to life, generating imaginative and visually striking content. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** This industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating gothic, fantasy themes into their portfolios, attracting clients seeking unique and evocative visual storytelling. - **Fashion:** This industry can take advantage of disruptive innovation opportunities by designing clothing and accessories inspired by evil fairy characters, appealing to the growing market of consumers who embrace alternative fashion aesthetics. - **Entertainment:** This industry can capitalize on disruptive innovation opportunities by organizing themed character-inspired photoshoots for promotional campaigns, engaging fans and creating buzz around upcoming movies, TV shows, or events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-for-good.md) - [Whimsical Character-Inspired Statement Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney.md) - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md) - [Storybook-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mischief-academy.md) - [Villain Inspired Fragrance Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-villains-2.md) - [Career-Driven Fairy Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-ella.md) - [Fairytale-Inspired Beauty Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairytales-collection.md) - [Diverse African Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creativesoul.md) - [Cinematic Celebration Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-sleeping-beauty-aurora-doll.md)
