# Floral Flood Photography Trung Thanh Nguyen's 'Oriental Flower' is Quietly Subdued By Meghan Young | Published 2010-12-31 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oriental-flower References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Oriental-Flower/812440) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Trupi) The Oriental Flower photo series has a vintage feel that makes it seem as though it was photographed in another era. Its muted colors gives the floral accents a different kind of life, more subdued than their usual vibrant existence. Photographed by Trung Thanh Nguyen, the Oriental Flower photo series definitely seems very Asian-specific in its reservedness. Also working on the photo shoot was makeup artist Tu Ta, costume designer Giao Chi and model Lan Anh. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Vintage-styled Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop a platform that combines vintage aesthetics with modern photography techniques for a unique and nostalgic visual experience. - **Muted Color Aesthetics:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create a tool or software that allows photographers to easily achieve the muted color effect in their photos, providing a new artistic style option. - **Asian-specific Visuals:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Build an online marketplace that connects photographers and models with Asian-specific aesthetics, catering to a niche market demand. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Introduce AI-powered cameras or editing software that automatically apply vintage or muted color effects to photos, simplifying the creative process for photographers. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Collaborate with photographers and designers to create a fashion line inspired by the muted color aesthetic, offering unique and trendy clothing options. - **Beauty:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop a line of makeup products specifically designed to enhance the Asian-specific visuals, catering to the growing demand for diverse beauty standards. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vietnamese Culture-Honoring Balanced Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/r-cy.md) - [Floral-Imbued Fashion Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-of-yves-saint-laurent.md) - [Stunning Dried Flower Arrangements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/east-olivia.md) - [Flower-Inspired Vibrant Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espressionismo-floreale.md) - [Creative Floral Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floralbooth.md) - [Forgotten Flower Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forgotten-flowers.md) - [Brown Orchid Perfumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brown-flowers-by-ds-durga.md) - [Rococo-Inspired Cosmetic Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-knows.md) - [Floral-Inspired Sculptural Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-power.md)
