# Dark Forlorn Photography 'My Dark Little Room' by August Bradley is Both Depressing and Detailed By Armida Ascano | Published 2010-09-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-dark-little-room References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/augustbradley/Frame/630479) & [augustbradley](http://www.augustbradley.com/) The 'My Dark Little Room' series is another addition to August Bradley's delightful but dark [Hasselblad Masters Book](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche). Involving lone characters in what seems like an [abandoned house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/addams-family-lego), 'My Dark Little Room' invokes a sense of sadness and mysticism. Regardless, the photography and editing are impeccably executed in the series. Although the tone may be dark, the colors in the photos are definitely vivid. The combination of August Bradley's great concept, inept skill and the emotionally-charged expressions on the model's faces makes for a riveting series of prints. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Emotional Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to create emotionally charged photography through color, lighting, and composition. - **Depressing Aesthetics:** Opportunity for designers to create products and services that embrace a more somber and melancholic aesthetic. - **Mystical Themes:** Opportunity for writers and content creators to explore mystical and enigmatic themes that evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to create new works that push the boundaries of traditional photography. - **Design:** Opportunity for designers to explore new aesthetics that cater to people's changing moods and emotions. - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for writers, filmmakers, and content creators to create new works that embrace a more mystical and enigmatic tone. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Dark Abstracted Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-minyades-exhibition.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Personal Nostalgic Photo Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-ohio.md) - [Interactive Colorful Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-hockney-bigger-closer.md) - [Color Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md)
