# Glaring Crimson Captures Yulia Gorbachenko's 'Smokey Red' Series is Intensely Fiery By Meghan Young | Published 2011-05-25 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smokey-red References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/SMOKY-RED/1489263) & [yuliagorbachenko](http://www.yuliagorbachenko.com) Photographer Yulia Gorbachenko's 'Smokey Red' photo series pretty much pops right off of the page. A deep blood-red backdrop overtakes almost the entire shoot, blending in with the stunning siren's cropped crimson coif and creating a glaring glow around her sharp features. The Smokey Red photo series showcases Gorbachenko's signature style in a different way. Known for using [vibrant colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-pucci) and long exposures to create blurry, light-filled images, she works with a more focused frame this time around, as well as closer shots for a captivating portrait portfolio. The Smokey Red photo series features [theatrical makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shadow-of-secrets-collection) by Anastasia Durasova, fiery red locks by Eric Williams and fantastic retouching by Gabriele Monte. It stars the beautiful model Gisela Calitz from [Muse Model Management](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glassesusacom). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 - **Vibrant Color Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new techniques or equipment to enhance and capture vibrant colors in photography. - **Intense Portraiture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative lighting or makeup techniques to produce intense and captivating portraits. - **Blurring Borders:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore ways to push the boundaries of traditional photography through the use of long exposures and blurry effects. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new technologies or tools to advance the field of photography and enhance visual storytelling. - **Makeup Artistry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate new theatrical makeup products or techniques to create stunning and transformative looks in photography and film. - **Modeling and Talent Management:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize AI and data analytics to revolutionize the modeling and talent management industry, improving the selection and representation of models. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Red-Accented Artist Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-of-richard-macdonald.md) - [Sultry Accented Home Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accents-of-oxblood.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Spicy-Sweet Glam Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-spicy-glam-bar.md) - [Noir-Inspired Luxury Cosmetic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rouge-noir.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Cherry Red Winter Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherry-girl.md)
