In 2012, the film industry focused on upholding the idea of a [strong, powerful and funny heroine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-lovely-to-be-a-woman) as the center for its movies, and the [New York Times](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/its-all-possible) [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywood-beauty-icon-lipsticks) Heroines mini film captures this year's leading ladies in unorthodox locations. From the newly named 'Most Desirable Women of the Year' Jennifer Lawrence to comedy's reigning queen Rebel Wilson, the small film captures these actresses at their best.

The Hollywood Heroines mini film also captures Anne Hathaway, Elle Fanning and Kerri Washington in obscure locations. These actresses are photographed by Tierney Gearon, a photographer who isn't shy to put raw emotion into the majority of his work. Each shoot captures a raw unexplainable emotion of the actresses in a stand off, goofy kind of setting.
