# Forest Fairy Photography Nea by Vivienne Mok is Romantically Innocent By Meghan Young | Published 2012-01-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nea-by-vivienne-mok References: [fashionising](http://www.fashionising.com/pictures/b--Nea-fairytale-beauty-17951.html) & [viviennemok.blogspot](http://viviennemok.blogspot.com) Staying true to the photographer's signature style, Nea by Vivienne Mok is soft, romantic and slightly surreal. As though inspired by [myths and legends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grun-collection), Nea is at one instance a forest nymph and at another, a listless princess held in captivity. Unlike the photographer's past work, this shoot includes darker shots thrown into the mix that give it a dual personality. Nea by Vivienne Mok was shot for the third issue of Dew Magazine. Set in an oriental backdrop, the photo shoot intensifies the exotic nature of each image. With fashion finds of tulle, chiffon, embroidered cotton, as well as the addition of [floral crowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025) and a bevy of braids, there is no limit to the [fairy tale exoticism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mischief-academy) that is evoked throughout these photographs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Romantic Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to explore dreamy and emotional themes in their work. - **Mythical Inspirations:** Potential for artists to draw from legends and folklore to create unique and captivating visuals. - **Dual Personality Art:** Chance for artists to experiment with contrasting elements and create intriguing narratives in their work. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Photography:** Fashion photographers can incorporate elements of fantasy and storytelling to create visually stunning and engaging images. - **Fine Art Photography:** Fine art photographers can explore the use of symbolism and mythology to convey deeper meanings in their work. - **Editorial Photography:** Editorial photographers can experiment with juxtaposition and narrative storytelling to convey complex ideas and emotions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fairytale-Inspired Beauty Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairytales-collection.md) - [Exploratory Rose-Centered Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green.md) - [Dreamy Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection.md) - [Intricate Bridal Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heli-kalkstein.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Chalk Streams Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-conceptual-landscape-photographer.md) - [High-End Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivienne-westwood-bridal-couture.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [AI-Inspired Fantastical Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantastical-bridal-collection.md)
