# Fairy Tale Photography The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood Series is Sweetly Romantic By Meghan Young | Published 2010-12-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleeping-beauty-in-the-wood References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/The-Sleeping-Beauty-In-the-Wood/794326) & [milkphotographie](http://www.milkphotographie.com) The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood photo series takes inspiration from my favorite [fairy tale](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gift-happily-ever-after) of all time -- and does it complete justice. Simple and sweet, I love the contrast between the [porcelain doll-like model](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viktorrolf-x-disney) against the dark bed of [fallen leaves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinterest-autumnwinter). Photographed by Brendan Zhang, The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood photo series not only features a beautiful model and great backdrop, it also shows amazing composition and lighting. I only wish there were more images from this portfolio. I guess I'll just have to satisfy myself by looping through the gallery above, as you will probably do as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% 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) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Fairy Tale-inspired Marketing:** Incorporate themes from classic fairy tales into marketing campaigns for a charming and memorable approach. - **Nature-based Photography:** Capture the beauty of nature in photographic art for a unique and awe-inspiring portfolio. - **Nostalgic Aesthetic:** Appeal to customers' nostalgia with artwork and photography that harkens back to simpler times. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Create captivating fashion campaigns and editorials using fairy tale themes and whimsical nature photography. - **Wedding Planning:** Offer scenic outdoor photography and fairy tale-inspired decor options for uniquely romantic wedding experiences. - **Home Decor:** Feature nostalgic art and nature photography in home decor products and marketing for a cozy and comforting aesthetic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fairytale-Inspired Beauty Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairytales-collection.md) - [Storybook-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mischief-academy.md) - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md) - [Whimsical Fairy Tale-Like Bedding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piglet-in-bed.md) - [Cinematic Celebration Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-sleeping-beauty-aurora-doll.md) - [Fairytale-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-enchanting-collection.md) - [Diverse African Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creativesoul.md) - [Equitable Fairy Tale Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fair-tales-by-odeabank.md) - [Fairy Tale-Inspired Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-white-and-the-seven-dwarfs-cottage.md)
