# Sultry Rooftop Editorials Erik Tranberg Photographed Braina for a C-Heads Exclusive By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-08-05 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rooftop-editorial References: [c-heads](http://www.c-heads.com/2014/08/01/braina-by-erik-tranberg-for-c-heads/) & [eriktranberg.4ormat](http://eriktranberg.4ormat.com/) Erik Tranberg photographed humble beauty Braina in this rooftop editorial for C-Heads. Tranberg explains, "Braina is from Puerto Rico and I love the beauty and soul she brings to her work. A friend of mine told me of this rooftop on an abandoned building in [downtown Los Angeles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/echo-park-hillhouse). We saw a couple go inside the building while we were shooting. Braina and I both had the same adventurous spirit to check it out. Once we were inside it seemed the perfect location to shoot in the [City of Broken Dreams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-dreaming-collection)." Indeed, Los Angeles has a reputation for being a city that will chew you up and spit you out. However, from this great vantage point, Braina seems relatively unconcerned about the dog-eat-dog world below her, simply enjoying the warm day instead. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Rooftop Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to create unique and captivating visuals by utilizing rooftops as unconventional shooting locations. - **Adventure Modeling:** Modeling industry can embrace the trend of adventurous photo shoots in unconventional and unexpected locations to evoke a sense of excitement and curiosity. - **Cityscape Fashion Editorials:** Fashion publications can explore the trend of using urban rooftops and cityscapes as backdrops for editorial shoots to bring a contrasting visual element to their content. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** The photography industry can seize the opportunity to offer rooftop photography experiences to clients, providing a unique and elevated perspective for their shoots. - **Modeling:** The modeling industry can promote adventure modeling as a niche category, attracting clients who want to convey a sense of exploration and daring in their campaigns. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands and magazines can incorporate cityscape fashion editorials as a disruptive approach to showcase their products, blending urban aesthetics with high-fashion imagery. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Eccentrically Designed Historic Penthomes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crina-arghirescu-rogard.md) - [Supermodel-Hosted Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sacred-renewal.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Perfume Café Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elorea-caf-and-perfumery.md) - [Summer-Inspired Photo Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-dreaming-collection.md) - [Model-Off-Duty Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modeloffduty-essentials.md) - [Island-Inspired Summer Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sel-de-mer.md)
