# Pirate Ship Hats The Simona Smrckova Portraits II Series is Beautifully Fantastical By Meghan Young | Published 2011-01-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simona-smrckova-portraits-ii References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/PORTRAITS-II/890273) & [simsfoto.cz](http://www.simsfoto.cz) There is subtle darkness lurking within each image in the Simona Smrckova Portraits II photo series. Smrckova has decided to accent a dark undertone through her lighting and post-production techniques. What I particularly like about the Simona Smrckova Portraits II photo series is the [eccentric accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artycapucines-vii), such as [pirate ship headpieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-sculptures), magnifying glasses and [paper cranes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saori-matsushita). Beautiful and fantastical, this is an incredibly imaginative portfolio. Enjoy the gallery above -- you won't be disappointed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 66% | 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Fantastical Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to create imaginative and fantastical photo series inspired by eccentric accessories. - **Dark Undertones:** Opportunity to incorporate a subtle darkness in lighting and post-production techniques to create a captivating and unique visual style. - **Eccentric Accessories:** Opportunity to design and create unique and eye-catching accessories like pirate ship headpieces, magnifying glasses, and paper cranes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to explore new creative directions by incorporating fantastical elements and eccentric accessories. - **Fashion:** Opportunity to incorporate eccentric accessories into fashion designs, creating unique and captivating looks. - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to experiment with a dark undertone and fantastical elements in their work. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Striking Glass Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-portraits.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Reimagined Puzzled Artful Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-hat.md) - [Whimsical Adventure-Series Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-one-piece.md) - [AI-Generated Retrofuturistic Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturistic-objects.md) - [Playful Sculptural Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afterglow-1.md) - [Avant-Garde Radish Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radish-hat.md) - [Enchanting Classic-Animation-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew.md)
