Capturing the backside of femininity is what fashion photographer Patricio Suarez does best. This New York City-based photographer has a passion for [feminine depictions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow) that shy away from showing all.

These conservative depictions of [covered-up sensuality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova) are what set Patricio Suarez apart for countless other fashion photographers. I love how these photos follow a common theme where the model's face is hidden, thereby masking her identity and letting her femininity speak for itself.

**Implications** - Conservative women's fashion continue to please a younger generation of women who have grown tired of bare-all sexuality. With such, companies marketing towards a youthful female demographic should be accepting that these not-so subtle depictions of sexuality have grown tiresome in the eyes of female consumers.
