This self-made professional started out shooting when she was just 14 years old and has already had a photo published by [Vogue Magazine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore-magazine). She's also had the opportunity to work closely with the makeup artist of Paul Venoit, as well as shoot for [Ford](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-bronco-bricc) Models. Patricia’s photos are inspired by other art pieces and film, and though she started off shooting high-fashion, she currently focuses on [beauty portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-beaut-louis-vuitton-campaign). She often does all of the styling herself, including hair and makeup, but she says that Venoit will often work his magic as well. Patricia continues to be inspired to create more pieces of art and, since this is just the beginning for this 19-year old, who knows where her work will end up next. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Self-taught Photography:** The trend of self-taught photography is disrupting the traditional education system, providing an opportunity for young photographers like Patricia Recourt to showcase their work in the fashion industry. - **Beauty Portraits:** The trend of focusing on beauty portraits instead of high-fashion photography is opening up a new market for photographers, potentially disrupting the traditional fashion industry. - **Multidisciplinary Art:** The trend of creating multidisciplinary art pieces like Patricia Recourt, who takes on the role of the stylist as well, gives rise to new opportunities for collaboration between different art forms, potentially disrupting the traditional boundaries of art and fashion. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Photography:** The fashion photography industry would benefit from embracing the trend of discovering young self-taught photographers like Patricia Recourt, giving them opportunities to showcase their work in major publications. - **Beauty Industry:** The emerging trend of beauty portraits could disrupt the traditional beauty industry, offering new opportunities for collaborations between photographers, makeup artists, and hairstylists. - **Visual Arts Education:** The trend of multidisciplinary art could disrupt traditional visual arts education, creating new opportunities for students to explore different art forms and break down traditional barriers between them. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [AI-Powered Fashion Photography Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/betterstudio.md) - [Artist-Approved Intricate Wallpaper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-decors.md) - [Vintage Graphics-Inspired Tile Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tile-collections.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Girlhood-Inspired Clothing Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peachy-dens-sweet-cheeks.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md)
