Of course, the [Gothic-Victorian tone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gothic-revival) is still there, but instead of lacing her work with digital paintings and [3D elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portalm-x-virtual-fashion-exhibition), she has delved more fully into [photography as a medium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-within-the-detour) all its own. Dark, romantic and completely feminine, the Natalie Shau 'Fashion Works' portfolio is absolutely stunning. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Gothic Fashion Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunities may involve incorporating unconventional elements and techniques into traditional fashion photography, creating a unique and captivating visual style. - **Artistic Photography Portfolios:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation lie in exploring different artistic approaches within photography portfolios, allowing artists to showcase their diverse talents beyond their traditional niche. - **Exploration of Dark Femininity:** Disruptive innovation can be found in embracing and creating visual content that captures the dark, romantic and feminine aspects of the subject matter, catering to a unique audience seeking unconventional beauty. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Photography:** By incorporating Gothic and Victorian elements, fashion photography can disrupt the traditional norms and redefine the boundaries of beauty and aesthetics. - **Art Photography:** Art photographers can disrupt the status quo by breaking away from typical digital art approaches and using photography as a sole medium for self-expression and storytelling. - **Alternative Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunities arise in the alternative fashion industry by embracing dark, romantic and feminine aesthetics, appealing to individuals seeking non-conventional fashion choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Executive Workwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12th-tribe-x-corporate-natalie.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [AI-Inspired Fantastical Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantastical-bridal-collection.md) - [Gothic Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gothic-revival.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Artsy Surrealist Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gohar-world.md) - [AI-Powered Fashion Photography Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/betterstudio.md) - [Artist-Approved Intricate Wallpaper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-decors.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md)
