Now we can add photographers to this growing list. If you have to pose with someone, supermodel Kate Moss is as good as it gets. That is exactly what famous photographer Mario Sorrenti did on the cover of the Fall / Winter issue of Purple Fashion magazine. Sorrenti took the picture of himself, bare naked, with a glamorous looking Kate Moss in a ultra-short zipped Balmain dress. The pose is very intriguing, considering that Kate Moss dated Mario Sorrenti for about a year and a half before he was famous. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 84% | 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) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Photographer Models:** The trend of photographers becoming models opens up opportunities for them to showcase their unique perspectives and artistic visions. - **Celebrity Collaborations:** The rise in photographers collaborating with celebrities, like Mario Sorrenti and Kate Moss, presents opportunities for unique and highly influential visual storytelling. - **Self-portraits in Fashion:** The increasing use of photographers taking self-portraits in fashion shoots offers a chance to explore personal expression and challenge traditional notions of beauty and authority. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** The photography industry can capitalize on photographers as models trend by offering training and resources to help photographers develop their modeling skills. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can benefit from photographer collaborations with celebrities, as it provides a fresh and unique perspective that can resonate with consumers and drive innovation in campaigns and designs. - **Publishing:** The publishing industry can explore the trend of photographers taking self-portraits in fashion shoots by featuring more self-expressive and unconventional visual content, pushing boundaries and captivating readers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Iconic Singer-Starring Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-and-diana-ross.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Nostalgic Winter Intimates Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skims-holiday-campaign.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Model-Collaborative Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cara-loves-karl.md) - [Hipster Era Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cobrasnake-y2ks-archive.md) - [Mock Social Good Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-models-own.md)
