# Moody Monochromatic Captures This Inna Franco Series is Subtle and Expressive By Josh Triantafilou | Published 2012-04-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inna-franco References: [photographyserved](http://www.photographyserved.com/gallery/portrait-black-white/3444101) & [scotch-production.tumblr](http://scotch-production.tumblr.com/) Kiev, Ukraine-based photographer Inna Franco recently completed a series titled, 'Portrait.Black&White.' As its name suggests, the photoshoot captures young women in a [monochromatic color scheme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grigio-verde). The series is essentially a [fashion shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/betterstudio), but features some subtly unusual elements for this style of photography. Each piece is composed of two photographs that both focus on a single person. In most of these pairs, the model wears a markedly different expression in each photograph. For instance, one will show the model with the usual nonchalant, fashionista poker face while its sister photograph depicts the same model wearing a more [emotive, human expression](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-portrait-studio). Furrowed brows, curled lips and winced eyes are the sort of subtle details that can change the entire tone of a conversation and, indeed, the feel of photograph. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 75% | 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Moody Monochromatic Captures:** Opportunity to explore expressive and emotive elements in monochromatic fashion photography. - **Subtly Unusual Elements:** Chance to incorporate unexpected and contrasting expressions in fashion photography. - **Emotive Portraits:** Trend towards capturing genuine human emotions in fashion shoots. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Photography:** Can experiment with new techniques and styles to create visually striking monochromatic images. - **Fashion Industry:** Opportunity to showcase fashion in a more emotive and expressive way. - **Art and Design:** Incorporating contrasting expressions in photography to evoke different emotions and narratives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Dreamy Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection.md) - [Color Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Monochrome Living Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grigio-verde.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md)
