# Forest-Dwelling Goth Shoots Rosie Kliskey Captures the Depths of the Dark Woods By Sophia Pelka | Published 2012-03-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosie-kliskey References: [nopefun.tumblr](http://nopefun.tumblr.com/page/5) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/people/rosie_kliskey_blates/) Rosie Kliskey is a photography student from Plymouth, UK. Her growing portfolio is a mashup of youth culture portrayals and masterful photographic technique. Her works focus on spontaneous composition and narrative. Kliskey works with a [mju-1](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-howdy-partner), allowing her mobility and the fast shutter speed necessary for quick captures. Her collection 'Coyote' is a [darkly ethereal look into the forest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oculus). Her artistic direction is thorough and engaging. The subject resembles a sort of medicine doctor or friendly witch. The [gothic undertone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gothic-revival) of the shoot is evident in the empty expressions and emphasis on isolation, and the empty connection between human and animal. Kliskey takes the morbid narrative a step further with captures of dead critters, including a belly-up fox and a crushed bird corpse. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Dark Forest Photography:** Opportunities for innovation in low light photography techniques and artistic direction for eerie themes. - **Youth Culture Mashup:** High potential in combining elements of different subcultures to create new and unique scenes. - **Narrative Photography:** Potential for innovation in storytelling through visual storytelling. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Opportunities for skill enhancement in low light photography and artistic direction for themes outside traditional portraiture. - **Fashion:** Opportunities for innovation in fashion styling and unique settings to complement scene themes. - **Art:** Opportunities for experimentation in different mediums like digital manipulation and mixed media to complement theme. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chalk Streams Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-conceptual-landscape-photographer.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Artful Camo Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylrk-camo.md) - [Skateboard-Themed Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabbit-hole-1.md) - [Mythical Forest-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grun-collection.md) - [Nature Aesthetic Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wilderkind-collection.md) - [Adventure-Ready Activewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rose-boreal.md) - [Gothic Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gothic-revival.md)
