# Darkened Pop Star Photography The Katy Perry Interview Magazine Shoot is Unexpected By Harris Jay Rosenberg Alterman | Published 2012-03-05 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katy-perry-interview-magazine References: [fashionising](http://www.fashionising.com/pictures/b--katy-perry-sexy-shoot-interview-21292.html) & [interviewmagazine](http://www.interviewmagazine.com/music/katy-perry) The Katy Perry Interview Magazine shoot features the well-known pop star with a [black and white makeover](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign). While Perry is mainly known for her upbeat songs and bright colors, this photo shoot shows a much darker side that many didn't know existed. Perry poses as some sort of [burlesque dancer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-life-of-a-showgirl) in her dressing room. With frizzy hair and a much more serious look on her face, Perry seems like a completely different person. The photos are taken in black and white, which makes it seem as if the images were taken at a bar in the early 1900s. With her [elegant makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-and-ella-gross) and the serious look on her face, Katy Perry looks like a recreation of Audrey Hepburn. The actual interview section for the Katy Perry Interview Magazine feature is more what one would expect. Perry is her same goofy and lovable self. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Dark Pop Star Imagery:** Create a new aesthetic for pop culture figures by portraying them in a darker and more serious light. - **Retro Photography Techniques:** Experiment with black and white photography to give modern images a vintage feel. - **Unexpected Image Representation:** Challenge traditional perceptions of public figures by presenting them in unconventional ways. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment:** Create a new image aesthetic for pop stars in music, film and television. - **Photography:** Experiment with vintage techniques in the digital age to create unique and unexpected images. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Challenge traditional marketing tactics by representing public figures in an unexpected and unconventional way. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Cartoon-Honoring High Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-heel.md) - [In-The-Dark Cosmetic Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shop-in-the-dark.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Pop Culture Candy Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/album-art-packaging.md) - [Singer-Curated Moodboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etsy-and-kacey-musgraves.md) - [Soft-Pink Cosmetics Pop-Up Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kylie-cosmetics-popup.md) - [Iconic Touring Artist Makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madonnas-makeup.md) - [Cat-Inspired Camera Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-kawaii.md)
