# Wintry Pastel Landscapes The Iceland Photo Series by Anna Pogossova is Perfectly Picturesque By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-04-25 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iceland-photo References: [thejealouscurator](http://www.thejealouscurator.com/blog/2013/04/24/im-jealous-of-anna-pogossova/) & [annapogossova](http://www.annapogossova.com/photography/series/personal-3/) Photographer Anna Pogossova captures the quiet serenity of snow-covered scenery in her Iceland photo series. Incorporating the [cloudy and gray skies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stratosplash), the photographs emphasize the vastness of the landscape that seems barren, yet also quite peaceful. On top of some of the photographs, Pogossova adds [pastel patches of color](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation) which balance out the blank spaces in the sky with the detail on the ground and add a bit of fresh warmth to the frigid, mostly white scenery. The quaint villages and unobtrusive designs give the series a retro feeling, as though they are taking us back to more relaxed days when things seemed simpler and life was more easy-going. Anna Pogossova's Iceland photo series allows viewers to escape into the cool calm serenity of winter. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Wintry Landscape Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to explore new techniques in capturing the serene beauty of snow-covered scenery. - **Balance of Colors in Photography:** Potential for photographers to experiment with incorporating contrasting pastel patches of color to add warmth to otherwise blank spaces. - **Nostalgic Retro Aesthetic:** Room for artists to create designs and visuals that evoke a sense of simplicity and easy-goingness reminiscent of bygone eras. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Opportunities for photographers to utilize wintry landscapes as a subject to create captivating imagery. - **Art and Design:** Space for artists to draw inspiration from Anna Pogossova's retro-style aesthetic and incorporate it into their own creations. - **Travel and Tourism:** Potential for tourism agencies to promote winter destinations, such as Iceland, by highlighting the serenity and beauty of snow-covered landscapes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adventure-Seeking Iceland Flight Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iceland-flight-program.md) - [Haunting Glacial Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joklalykt.md) - [Unique Regional Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/icelandair-boasts-activities.md) - [Horse-Themed Iceland Travel Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outhorse-your-email.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Organic Landscape Wallcoverings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borealis-series.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Summer-Inspired Photo Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-dreaming-collection.md) - [Icelandic Nature-Inspired Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkone.md)
