# Vain Vixen Photography Maurizio Fantini's 'Marina's-Up' Series is Sexily Narcissistic By Meghan Young | Published 2010-11-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marina-s-up References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Marinas-Up/827522) & [mauriziofantini.it](http://www.mauriziofantini.it) I can't blame the narcissistic model seen in the 'Marina's-Up' photo series--if I had a bangin' bod like that, I would also hang pictures of myself in my home as well and stare for hours on end at myself in the mirror. In [retro pin-up style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign), the 'Marina's-Up' photo series was photographed by regularly featured Maurizio Fantini. Not only is he extremely talented behind the lens, his ability to get the model's personality to shine through is also impressive. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 98% | 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro Pin-up Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to revitalize the classic pin-up style in modern times. - **Narcissistic Aesthetics:** Opportunity to tap into the trend of self-love and promote it through innovative marketing campaigns. - **Personality-driven Modeling:** Opportunity for models to express their individualities through their poses and expressions. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Photography:** Trend-setting industry to promote and capture evolving fashion styles and trends. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity to leverage narcissism trend by manufacturing personalized home decor products with self-portraits. - **Beauty and Makeup:** Opportunity to incorporate the retro glam look in modern beauty trends as seen in 'Marina's-Up' series. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Sea-Inspired Mini Sculpture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-sculptures.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Surrealist Beauty Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletpaper-magazine.md) - [Renovated Maximalist Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-di-fantasia.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Curvaceous Floating Illusion Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-collection-2.md)
