# Paint-Like Photography The Kyriakos 'Ondine' Series is Eerily and Uniquely Shrouded By Meghan Young | Published 2010-10-29 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kyriakos-ondine References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/ondine/778143) & [kyriakosphotography](http://www.kyriakosphotography.com) It is portfolios like the Kyriakos 'Ondine' series that makes me wish it was mandatory for artists to explain their work. Although stunning enough to just look at, the paint-like images make me wonder just how Kyriakos was able to capture them. Featuring a somewhat shrouded woman, the Kyriakos 'Ondine' photo series seems like it consists of the negatives of the original shots. Absolutely unique, it shows a mastery in technique, composition and overall creativity. Kyriakos collaborated with Kolette for this series. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Paint-like Photography:** The rise of paint-like photography creates an opportunity for artists and photographers to explore new ways of expression and potentially disrupt the traditional photography industry. - **Experimental Techniques:** Artists and photographers who experiment with unique techniques and compositions have the opportunity to create one-of-a-kind pieces that can stand out and disrupt the traditional art market. - **Integrating Technology with Art:** With technology becoming increasingly accessible, integrating technology with art creates a new branch of the art industry and offers opportunities for innovative artists to push the boundaries of what art can be. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** The rise of new techniques and experimentation in photography creates an opportunity to disrupt and innovate the traditional photography industry. - **Art:** The use of unique techniques and materials in art creates opportunities to differentiate from traditional art and bring a new wave of artists to the industry. - **Technology:** Integrating technology with art creates opportunities for innovation, and also brings new possibilities for the tech industry to collaborate with artists and creators. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Monochromatic Bronze Art Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evgen-copi-gorisek.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Otherwordly Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-monk.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Hand-Painted Wallpaper Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sylvan.md) - [Hand-Painted Watercolor Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-webster.md)
