# Surreal Dancer Portraits Kylli Sparre's Surreal Photography Showcases the Female Form By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-09-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kylli-sparre References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/kylli-sparre-surreal-photographs) & [sparrek.org](http://www.sparrek.org/) Kylli Sparre's background in dance plays an influential role in her photography. She merges graceful, dancer-like figures with [surreal backdrops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) to create a composition that looks like it came straight out of a dream. Sparre's work highlights the delicate beauty of the female form, each photograph faithfully capturing movement in a way that radiates a powerful energy. At the same time, the [enchanting scenery captivates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-and-butterflies-are-dancing) and stimulates the viewer's imagination. Together, the images stir a strong emotional response from anyone who views it. Sparre admits that her inspiration from dance started out unconsciously. It was only after other people pointed out the [dance-like qualities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kinetic-collection) of her subjects that she realized how heavily she borrowed from her dance background. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Surrealist Photography:** Combining dance and surrealism in photography to create otherworldly compositions that invoke powerful emotions. - **Capturing Movement in Photography:** Exploring new ways to capture movement in a still image to create dynamic and compelling photos. - **Enchanting Scenery for Photography:** Using unique backdrops and surreal environments to create visually stunning photographs that engage the viewer. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Surrealist and movement-based photography are gaining popularity in both the art and commercial photography worlds, providing opportunities for innovative approaches and unique perspectives. - **Fashion:** Photographers and fashion designers are teaming up to showcase clothing in dynamic and exciting ways, using elements of dance and surrealism to create memorable images. - **Media and Advertising:** Creative directors and marketers are incorporating movement, surrealism, and captivating scenery in their campaigns to engage consumers and create unforgettable experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Sculpted Rhythm Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kinetic-collection.md) - [Ballet-Inspired Altheticwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/en-pointe-collection.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Biology-Inspired Porcelain Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu.md) - [Mesmerizing Sculpture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesmerizing-sculpture.md) - [Striking Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpture-candle.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md)
