Creative movie posters continue to emerge, with significant praise for unique designs like Akiko Stehrenberger's work for Portrait of a Lady on Fire. This 2019 poster features bold brush strokes and effectively uses negative space to portray two faces about to kiss amidst flames. Users on Reddit have expressed admiration for its tactile quality and artistic coherence. Stehrenberger's style often deviates from conventional poster designs, as she is typically commissioned for more adventurous concepts, evidenced by her work on Netflix's Beef in 2023.
The poster for Portrait of a Lady on Fire not only depicts a bright burning flame, but also features, very subtly in the black negative space, two faces about to kiss.
As she put it, she is often brought on when 'a studio wants a less conventional poster and more often than not, a secondary poster where they can take a bit more of a risk.'
