# Pigment-Less Portraits Gustavo Lacerda Photographs Albino Subjects Alluringly By Jason Soy | Published 2011-12-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gustavo-lacerda References: [ufunk.net](http://www.ufunk.net/en/photos/albinos-photographies-gustavo-lacerda/) & [gustavolacerda.br](http://www.gustavolacerda.com.br/) This 'Albino' series by Gustavo Lacerda features subjects with pale skin and platinum blonde hair -- common symptoms held by those with the congenital disorder. But even more striking than the appearance of the people in this [photo collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) is Lacerda's ability to capture the [vibrant personalities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-portraits) of each individual in an almost candid manner. It makes for dynamic and provocative imagery that really speaks of Lacerda's skill. Gustavo Lacerda is a Brazilian photographer who has been taking pictures for almost three decades now. Though he studied journalism in school, he found himself enraptured by the art world and would eventually gain enough notoriety to have his work featured in [exhibits and magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-print-series). Lacerda is equally adept at capturing the essence of locales as he is with photographing people. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 63% | 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) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Albino Portraits:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new photography techniques to capture the unique beauty of albino subjects. - **Vibrant Personality Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore innovative methods to capture the dynamic and provocative personalities of individuals in photography. - **Artistic Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine journalism and artistry in photography to create captivating and notoriety-gaining works. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce new techniques and approaches in photography to capture unique subjects and personalities. - **Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Merge journalism and art in photography to create captivating and notoriety-gaining artworks. - **Fashion and Modeling:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Showcase the unique beauty of albino models in the fashion industry to challenge beauty standards and promote inclusivity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Color Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color.md) - [Albino Fashion Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inclusive-doll-line.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Travel-Inspired Canvas Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-passport-series.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md)
