Shot in France at the Chateau de Franconville, not only are the images full of [eerie mystery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairmont-hotel-vancouver), there is also a [crisp cinematic quality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-special-happen) about each shot that could easily blend into the English film director and producer impressive oeuvre. Instead, however, the S'echapper du Chateau series is part of New York City-based [photography duo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhinoceros-gallery1) BJ and Richeille Formento of Formento+Formento's oeuvre. Models Laurenne Juliet and Fallon were given an old world glamor courtesy of hair stylist Samuel Chikly and makeup artist Marianne Desgree. The S'echapper du Chateau series will be exhibited at YK Pompidou, Paris. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 80% | 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Cinematic Photography:** The trend towards cinematic quality in photography is creating new possibilities for artists and filmmakers to explore the visual arts. - **Eerie Aesthetics:** The trend towards eerie and mysterious aesthetics in visual arts is creating demand for new techniques and styles that capture the imagination of audiences. - **Old World Glamor:** The trend towards old world glamor in photography and fashion is driving new collaborations between artists and stylists to create new and innovative looks. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** Advancements in camera technology and editing software are creating new opportunities for photographers to capture stunning images in the cinematic style. - **Film Production:** The trend towards cinematic photography is creating new possibilities for filmmakers to create visually stunning films that capture the imagination of audiences. - **Fashion:** The trend towards old world glamor in photography and fashion is driving new collaborations between designers, stylists, and photographers to create unique and innovative looks for brands and consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Castle-Inspired Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywood-hills-house-1.md) - [Opulent French Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chteau-la-banquire.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Chilling Filmic Scents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heretic-parfum-nosferatu.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Hotel-Inspired Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-st-regis-chicago-x-atelier-mira-couture.md) - [Exquisite High Jewelry Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campaign-film.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md)
