# Silhouette Self-Portraits Tatiana Biryukova Captures a Breathtaking Photo Series of Shadows By Meghan Young | Published 2010-09-15 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tatiana-biryukova References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/The-Support/699794) In a very Hitchcockian vein, Russian photographer Tatiana Biryukova captures herself in very compromising positions. These avant-garde images definitely look like they were framed for a [suspense film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladder-series). Entitled 'The Support,' Tatiana Biryukova's technique is unique and strangely refreshing in its darkness. I don't think I've ever seen [self-portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persona-ai) taken with such commitment and creativity before. This is definitely one photographer I'm going to keep my eyes on. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Avant-garde Self-portraits:** Exploring the use of unique and creative techniques in self-portraiture to capture unconventional perspectives. - **Shadow Photography:** Exploring the use of shadows as a dramatic and evocative element in photography, creating a sense of mystery and suspense. - **Compelling Composition:** Exploring unconventional angles and framing techniques to create visually captivating and thought-provoking images. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Incorporating innovative techniques and concepts in self-portrait photography to stand out in a highly competitive industry. - **Art and Design:** Exploring new approaches to visual storytelling and self-expression through avant-garde photography techniques. - **Entertainment and Media:** Utilizing shadow photography and compelling composition techniques in film and advertising to create captivating visual narratives that engage audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shadow-Inspired Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightware-series.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Shadow-Mimicking Photography Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shadow-boards.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [AI-Powered Portrait Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-portrait-studio.md)
