'Mood' by Dorothea is a series of [self-portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persona-ai) photographed by Dorothea Barth-JÃ¶rgensen.

The images evoke meaning and emotion in such a raw form that any viewer or admirer could understand. Each image is given its own title that cover a [range of emotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emo), characteristics and actions. 'Brave,' 'Movement,' 'Desperation,' 'Hope' and 'Satisfaction' sum up the images in words. Definitely incredible and thought-provoking, see these interesting photos for yourselves in the featured gallery.

**Implications** - Pieces that are [emotionally charged](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/global-mood-ring) tend to appeal more to consumers as they focus on the commonality of human emotion. This helps to not only garner consumer attention, but induce an emotional response that makes a brand more memorable in their minds.
