Well known photographer Julia Fullerton-Batten has photographed her street-cast models in what seems to be a camp-like setting.
Julia Fullerton-Batten approaches random people on the streets in London and simply asks if they want to be part of her photo shoots. She claims that street casting is the best way to use fascinating faces and meet wonderful personalities.
Implications - So much photography (especially when it comes to fashion) seems to rely on overly idealized representations of what people are supposed to look like, but it's refreshing to see artists like Julia Fullerton-Batten embracing the use of regular, everyday people. The uncanny quality of her work will hopefully inspire other artists and advertising agencies to follow suit.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Street-casting Photography

- Embracing Authenticity
- The trend of embracing authenticity in photography challenges the over-idealized standards of beauty and encourages the representation of regular, everyday people in art and advertising.
- Celebration of Diversity
- The trend of celebrating diversity in photography promotes inclusivity by showcasing a wide range of faces and personalities that represent different backgrounds, ages, and body types.
Sectors Adopting This
- Fashion Photography
- The fashion photography industry can explore the use of street-casting to showcase real people and create more relatable and diverse imagery for brands.
- Advertising
- The advertising industry can adopt the street-casting approach to showcase authentic representations of their target audience and connect with consumers on a deeper level.
