# Gritty Girl Photography Maya Nightingale's Love Hunt is Dark and Sinister By Meghan Young | Published 2011-09-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-hunt References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/LOVE-HUNT/2048353) & [miumajarbonmade](http://miumaja.carbonmade.com) There is a subtle sinister feeling to the Love Hunt photo series, as though some kind of [dark magic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/witches-delight) is taking place. Centered on two girls who could very well be sister sorcerers, the shoot takes place at night in which all manner of evil rises. With their antler headpieces and mischievous, almost malevolent stares, these two young girls looks to be up to absolutely no good. Shot by Slovenia-based photographer Maya Nightingale, who was assisted by Klemen Skubic, the Love Hunt photo series isn't all about the girls, however. Instead, it is a rather dramatic photo shoot for Sanija Reja Aske's [latest fashion collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection). The loosely fit, simple outfits look as though they were made for peasant girls, hence the farmhouse setting. The [gritty makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-decay-x-m3gan) was done by Natasa Logar. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Dark Magic Photography:** Utilize dark and sinister themes in photography to create an eerie and captivating visual experience. - **Gritty Fashion Shoots:** Experiment with unconventional fashion settings and makeup to create edgy and dramatic photo shoots. - **Mysterious Sisterhood:** Highlight the bond between female characters in photography to evoke a sense of intrigue and mystique. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Photography:** Incorporate dark and unconventional elements into fashion photography to create unique and captivating visuals. - **Makeup Artistry:** Explore the use of gritty and dramatic makeup looks to enhance the overall impact of fashion shoots. - **Fashion Design:** Collaborate with photographers to create fashion collections that are aligned with dark and mysterious themes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Futuristic Eyewear Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simple-line-1.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Horror Doll Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-decay-x-m3gan.md) - [Vampire Slayer Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vampyre-cosmetics.md) - [Girlhood-Inspired Clothing Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peachy-dens-sweet-cheeks.md) - [Mock Social Good Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-models-own.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md)
