# Forsaken Girl Photography Lola the Abandoned by Remi Rebillard is Dark and Full of Neglect By Meghan Young | Published 2012-10-08 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lola-the-abandoned References: [fashionising](http://www.fashionising.com/pictures/b--life-creeps-in-to-the-abandoned-factory-31731.html) & [remirebillard](http://www.remirebillard.com/) The Lola the Abandoned photo series romanticizes the reality of [neglected children](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwelcome-home). Although that might not be the true inspiration behind the photoshoot itself, it does play a major role. Nevertheless, the photographer could easily have been influenced by the slew of [abandoned architecture portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-within-the-detour) floating around the Internet and decided to take these images to a more [fashionable level](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/betterstudio). Shot by Remi Rebillard, a photographer based in France, the Lola the Abandoned photo series stars models Lola Haro and Eva Michal. Captured roaming around the halls of an abandoned factory in Brussel, Belgium, the freshness and perfection of their youth is intriguingly contrasted with the age and decay of the location. Rebillard's work often revolves around the fractured and fragmented and the Lola the Abandoned photo series is no exception. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: 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 - **Abandoned Architecture Portraits:** Exploring abandoned architecture as a backdrop for photography creates an opportunity to capture the beauty in decay. - **Romanticizing Neglected Children:** Using photography to shed light on the reality of neglected children sparks an opportunity for social awareness and change. - **Fashionable Decay:** Combining fashion and decay in photography presents an opportunity to create unique and provocative visual narratives. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** The photography industry can embrace and capitalize on the trend of using abandoned locations as captivating backdrops for artistic storytelling. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore the concept of decay and utilize it as a fashion statement, blending elegance with grit. - **Social Awareness:** The social awareness industry can leverage photography as a powerful tool to raise awareness about neglected children and advocate for change. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Contemporary Sculptural Shrines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-shrine.md) - [Mock Social Good Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-models-own.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Imperfect Photography Celebrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam.md) - [Personal Nostalgic Photo Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-ohio.md) - [Dynamic Structural Dining Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lola-chair.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Modern Ruin-Inspired Californian Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romick-house.md) - [Unretouched Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dove-reimagine-beauty.md)
