Have an assignment for school to shoot an individual Creative/Fad portrait. I'm not exactly up on the latest creative/fad trends and am having trouble coming up with ideas.

Anyone have any examples/ideas of what you think represents good creative/fad style portraiture?

Look at Joey Lawrence's portfolio... his grunge look is all the rage right now. :)

Everything is a fad...just go creative.

Not really.
The cheesy action-based grunge is the rage now ;-)

I'm always so behind on all things fashionable or in style! ROFL! :)

Kinda lost me on the cheesy action-based grunge comment Joey.

BTW, your portfolio is outstanding!!! Quite a range of great shots.

I'm thinkin' the instructor is looking for people in the shot. But, I may just do that one for the next challenge. Dress a rock in bib overalls sitting on a stack of hay.

Call it country rock.

Yes.
Specifically, 5 different poses and 2 different background portrait shots.

Whoops, I didn't see the portrait part of the OP.

Try some of the half face(off center) close-up type shots with a high key background...that is pretty trendy right now.

That's a good idea. I'll give that a try as one or two of the shots.

I'll post the shots when I'm done.

Thanks guys.

I like the last one the best. It seems a little blah though. it needs something to make it 'pop'. maybe a tighter crop, some saturation and contrast?

4th one is a very creative idea, the plectrums are a nice touch.
