Raw Street Lifestyle Photography

Patrick O’Rourke Captures City Lifestyle Photos in Toronto

— April 29, 2014 — World
Patrick O'Rourke captures raw photos of big city lifestyle. The photographer took to the streets of Toronto, Canada to share what he saw just by walking about the modern cornucopia of people.

The images depict everyday life in the city streets and include a younger demographic of people. Surprisingly, by the looks of his portfolio, he saw a lot of skateboarders. He captured them waiting for the subway holding their boards, jumping over city sewers, ramps and even scraping up their knees from falls.

The photos also give off a vintage vibe and include random shots of objects and buildings to add a unique twist to the series. For example, one photo features the outside view of a brick building with a single window. In it, a re-created Canadian flag is hanging that boasts a red marijuana leaf in place of the maple leaf.
Trend Themes
1. Street Photography Revival - There is an opportunity for urban photographers to capture everyday life in cities, especially among young and niche demographics.
2. Skate Culture Showcase - Skate culture can inspire a new trend in photography and creative content creation.
3. Retro Aesthetic Resurgence - Vintage and retro-style visuals have resurged, which can create opportunities for photographers to create unique content.
Industry Implications

2. Skateboard and Urban Clothing Brands - Skate culture and street photography can create brand awareness and promotion opportunities for skateboard and urban clothing brands.
3. Digital Marketing and Social Media - Visual content creation, particularly of street photography and retro visuals, can be useful in driving engagement and increasing brand awareness in digital marketing and social media.
