Gritty Frank Photography

Rylan Perry Captures Portraits Full of Personality

— July 27, 2011 — Naughty
Frank and candid photography has been the go-to style for many younger photographers like Rylan Perry. Considering that the hipster lifestyle seems to be centered, at least right now, around the appreciation of nostalgic things, these analog-like images do fit into this culture. Rylan Perry may not be a hipster, but his work would definitely appeal to them.

Based in New York City, Rylan Perry is certainly drawn to beautiful, half-naked women by the looks of his portfolio. Thrown into the mix, however, are a few landscape shots as well. Rylan Perry is especially talented at capturing captivating portraits that really hone in on the personality and character of the subject at hand. Kudos to Rylan Perry for a stellar oeuvre.
Trend Themes
1. Candid Photography - Opportunity for innovative technologies to enhance candid photography techniques and enable more authentic and personal portraits.
2. Analog-like Images - Potential for disruptive platforms or apps that offer digital filters and editing tools to create analog-like images for a nostalgic aesthetic.
3. Character-centric Portraits - Space for AI-powered tools or algorithms to analyze facial expressions and capture portraits that showcase the subject's unique personality and character.
Industry Implications
1. Photography and Imaging - Opportunity for camera manufacturers, software developers, and photo-editing companies to innovate and cater to the growing market of candid and character-centric photography.
2. Social Media and Networking - Disruptive potential for social media platforms to incorporate specialized filters and features that enhance and promote analog-like images, creating an engaging visual experience for users.
3. Art and Creative Industries - Opportunity for galleries, art schools, and creative platforms to showcase and nurture the trend of gritty frank photography and provide education and resources for aspiring photographers.
