# Submerged Sorceress Spreads Max Siedentopf Shoots Macabre Underwater Enchantresses By Armida Ascano | Published 2010-12-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/max-siedentopf References: [photodonuts](http://www.photodonuts.com/max-siedentopf) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/maxsiedentopf) Max Siedentopf is an imaginative photographer who isn't satisfied with the status quo. This series of underwater enchantment is anything but run-of-the-mill, with macabre models submerged in water wearing little other than silk scarves. The scarves create a [whimsical floating effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ariel-swipe) that Max Siedentopf surely executed intentionally. Ultimately, the series is one that Max Siedentopf can be proud to call his own. **Implications** - Max Siedentopf manages to capture his models in graceful, [ballerina-like poses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow) under the water. His ability to capitalize on the minimal lighting of an underwater setting draws attention to the submerged models, highlighting their long limbs and flowing scarves. Max Siedentopf's series is whimsical and [mermaid-like](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shells-jewel-collection), yet displays a darker image of the purity of water. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Underwater Photography:** The trend of underwater photography is growing, offering unique opportunities for creative expression and capturing ethereal images. - **Macabre Art:** The trend of creating macabre art provides artists with a way to explore darker themes and evoke strong emotions in their audience. - **Whimsical Fashion:** The trend of incorporating whimsical elements in fashion allows designers to create unique and visually captivating pieces that stand out. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** The photography industry can capitalize on the growing interest in underwater photography by offering specialized equipment and training for photographers. - **Art:** The art industry can embrace and support the macabre art trend by showcasing and promoting artists who produce thought-provoking and evocative works. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can incorporate whimsical elements into their designs to create unique and eye-catching clothing and accessories that resonate with consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sea-Inspired Mini Sculpture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-sculptures.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Surrealist Beauty Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletpaper-magazine.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Dreamy Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection.md) - [Artistic Rum Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artists-of-the-abyss.md)
