# Unusual Retro Self-Portraits Juno Calypso Continues Her Quirky Series with Femininely Kitsch Shots By Meghan Young | Published 2016-03-01 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-selfportraits References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/en/2016/02/29/unusual-retro-self-portraits/) & [junocalypso](http://junocalypso.com/) The idea of strange might be subjective, but it's hard not to think that this series of retro self-portraits is not. After all, the photographer behind (or, in fact, in front) of the lens continues to push boundaries through nude shots -- some of which involve her painted green -- as well as using [bizarre gadgetry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pgytech-retrova) and more. Together, the retro self-portraits of Juno Calypso come together to create the life of her fictitious alter-ego, Joyce. Interestingly, Fubiz notes, "More you observe her settings, more you perceive the loneliness of the character as the joyless atmosphere she’s immersed in." It's easy to get caught up in the immediately weird details and lose the emotion behind the captures. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro Self-portraits:** Exploring the creative potential of retro self-portraits through unconventional techniques and themes. - **Pushing Boundaries:** Challenging traditional norms and exploring new possibilities in photography through unconventional concepts and techniques. - **Fictitious Alter-ego:** Creating fictional personas and narratives to convey deeper emotions and stories in photography. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Innovating the field of photography through unconventional and boundary-pushing techniques. - **Art:** Exploring new avenues of self-expression through unconventional art forms and narratives. - **Visual Media:** Creating disruptive and thought-provoking content by blending traditional and unconventional visuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Imperfect Photography Celebrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam.md) - [AI-Generated Retrofuturistic Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturistic-objects.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Retro Doll-Themed Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-film-camera.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [AI-Powered Portrait Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-portrait-studio.md) - [AI-Generated Selfies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreambooth.md)
