In 2015, Apple released a Rose Gold iPhone. In 2016, Pantone named Rose Quartz its colour of the year. Since then, Marc Jacobs, Gucci and Balenciaga have brought out collections with desaturated tones. Millennial pink has become a global design trend, taking over Tumblr pages and Instagram accounts with pastel layouts and contemporary branding. Diane Villadsen’s photographs are a visual sensation that explore this idea, feeding our appetite for candy coloured compositions and geometric styling. Dreamlike tones move from blush pink and lemon yellow to baby blue and soft lilac – soothing palettes found amongst painted walls and cut up fruit. The images focus on colours that are both peaceful and alluring, adhering to principles from the wider visual world. Villadsen is a fashion and portrait photographer based in San Francisco Bay. She has spoken at Adobe Live Stream and Today At Apple. dvilladsenphotography.com
