# Surreal Scenario Photoshoots Nicolas Velter Photographs Fantastical Scenes By Meghan Young | Published 2010-10-11 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nicolas-velter References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/VICTOIRE-Magazine-Shoot/656434) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/orlamck_makeupartist) Nicolas Velter photographed this fun shoot for [Victoire Magazine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche). From [surreal to quirky](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-for-two-collection), these scenarios all have a '[wishful thinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canva-spotlights)' element that makes it completely fun to take in. From penguins to kidnappings, Nicolas Velter was inspired by a spectrum of ideas. With the help of stylist Olivia Francken and makeup artist Orla McKeating, each scene came together flawlessly. I just wish there were more. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Surreal Photography:** Opportunity to create immersive and imaginative visual experiences through surreal photography. - **Quirky Scenario Shoots:** Potential to capture attention by creating unexpected and whimsical scenario photoshoots. - **Fantasy Inspired Editorials:** Innovation in the blending of reality and fantasy to create captivating and dreamlike editorials. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to push the boundaries of fashion photography by incorporating surreal and fantastical elements. - **Advertising:** Potential to create memorable and attention-grabbing advertisements by utilizing quirky and surreal scenario photoshoots. - **Art and Design:** Opportunity to explore new ways of storytelling and visual expression in art and design through surreal and fantasy-inspired editorials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Surrealist Pop-Up Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surrealist-popup.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Surrealist Beauty Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletpaper-magazine.md) - [Star-Studded Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Whimsical Couture Settings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Ultra-Colorful Design Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whimsical-studio.md)
