After scanning through the photos it is clear the photographer is, “expressing her inner thoughts, emotions and imaginations through her photos.” The viewer is almost able to hone in on what she is feeling right through each depiction. Each photo shares a common theme in that it features a woman who appears to be a medieval princess of the woods. The woman always possesses beauty and grace that instantly enchants the beholder. The majestic landscapes complement the subject wonderfully with one of such even featuring an old sailing ship. The [whimsical nature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-eternal-child) of these real life fairy tales with themes of fantasy is something that is difficult to achieve, but Shelby does this seemingly effortlessly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fantasy-inspired Photography:** There is an opportunity for photographers to explore creating fantasy-inspired themes in their photos to evoke emotions and captivate the viewer. - **Majestic Landscape Design:** Landscapers have the opportunity to create stunning outdoor spaces that mimic the magical landscapes depicted in these photos to create environments that transport people to another world. - **Medieval and Fantasy-inspired Fashion:** Fashion designers can explore creating clothing inspired by medieval and fantasy themes that are feminine and enchanting, similar to the styles featured in these photos. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Photographers have an opportunity to create and market fantasy-inspired photography and offer unique and emotionally resonant art to their clients. - **Landscaping:** Landscapers have an opportunity to create enchanting outdoor spaces suited to the tastes of those seeking to evoke the magical nature found in these types of photographs. - **Fashion:** Fashion designers have the opportunity to create their own medieval and fantasy-inspired designs that bring a stylish edge and beauty to the fashion market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chalk Streams Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-conceptual-landscape-photographer.md) - [Fairytale-Inspired Beauty Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairytales-collection.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Climate-Awareness Soft Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamstones.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Dazzling Art Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selene-exhibition.md) - [Immersive Art Escape Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daydream-adventures.md) - [Human Nature-Themed Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-im-awake.md) - [Dreamy Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection.md)
