# Sullen Soldier Portraits Italo Gaspar Makes a Military Man Out of Andre Kherwald By Marie | Published 2011-11-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italo-gaspar References: [thefashionisto](http://thefashionisto.com/fresh-face-andre-kherwald-by-italo-gaspar/) & [italogasparrbonmade](http://italogaspar.carbonmade.com/about) Brazilian photographer Italo Gaspar recreates [vintage military portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-styles) in his latest series, starring model newcomer Andre Kherwald. Using traditional sepia tones, dark shadows and an almost completely khaki wardrobe, Gaspar creates a look that is incredibly realistic. Reading more like a series of art photos than a fashion story, Gaspar's images are hauntingly honest, with an authentic feel not often matched by editorials. This year has seen an array of [military-inspired fashion photoshoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukrainian-brand-rbtnk), but this collaboration of new talent brings something fresh, making this one of my favorite photosets of 2011. Andre blends just the right amount of innocence, teen angst, and bad boy attitude, showing off his natural talent. With [understated styling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) by Toni Müller, and simple yet powerful images, Italo Gaspar's Andre Kherwald shoot can't be missed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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 - **Vintage Military Portraits:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation to offer modern-day military portraits with a vintage twist. - **Hauntingly Authentic Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation to offer hauntingly authentic photography for fashion and art industries. - **Military-inspired Fashion Photoshoots:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation to create a new approach to military-inspired fashion photoshoots with unique elements. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the photography industry to offer new services catering to vintage and authentic military portrait photography. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry to incorporate unique military-inspired photoshoots, capitalizing on new trends. - **Modeling:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the modeling industry to scout new talent with a military-inspired look, creating a new market demand. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Travel-Inspired Canvas Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-passport-series.md) - [Artful Camo Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylrk-camo.md) - [Immigration System-Inspired Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passport-series.md) - [Rebellious Camo Boot Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soldier-x-timberland.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Golden-Age Hollywood-Inspired Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-styles.md) - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Contemporary Military Fashion Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukrainian-brand-rbtnk.md)
