# Dainty Desolate Photography Missy Prince Captures Beauty and Romanticism in Unlikely Places By Corinne Guirgis | Published 2011-07-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/missy-prince References: [lpvmagazine](http://lpvmagazine.com/2011/07/missy-prince/) & [booooooom](http://www.booooooom.com/2011/04/19/photographer-missy-prince/) There is something magical about the lens of photographer Missy Prince. In the most unlikely of places, where the naked eye may passively overlook, she sees a picturesque vision. Sometimes shooting solitary landscapes or a single person within a vast surrounding, Prince makes even the simplest of places and inanimate objects evoke raw emotion and thought in her viewers. Despite this, Prince sees her photography merely as an opportunity to attact her audiences to particular places. Her goal is to convey a sense of place, and maybe "suggest something unknowable beyond the obvious content of the image." Missy explains the beauty in her work: "I like not knowing how a photo is going to turn out. The difference between what you see and what you get is a big part of the thrill, and waiting for the results makes that difference more clear." **Implications** - Art that is inspired by nature is appealing to consumers who appreciate its inherent beauty. Environmentalists in particular use these artworks to spread the importance of taking care of global surroundings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 12% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Environmental Photography:** Photographers are capturing the beauty of nature to spread awareness about environmental concerns. - **Emotion-driven Art:** Artists are using their work to evoke raw emotions and thoughts in their viewers, even in mundane or desolate settings. - **Unexpected Beauty:** Artists are finding beauty in unlikely places, showcasing the importance of perspective and individual interpretation. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Photography:** There is a growing demand for photography and artwork that promotes environmentalism and evokes strong emotional responses. - **Environmentalism:** Photography and art can be powerful tools for environmentalists to spread their message and inspire people to take action in protecting the planet. - **Tourism and Travel:** Photography and artwork that captures the unexpected beauty of even mundane or desolate settings can be used to attract tourists and travelers to new destinations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Dynamic Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-displays.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Hand-Painted Watercolor Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-webster.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Concept-Driven Retail Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miya-ando-x-saint-laurent.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Chalk Streams Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-conceptual-landscape-photographer.md)
