Psychedelic Streetography

'Urban Nights & Crazy Lights' by Rafael Andrade is like an Outdoor Rave

— January 9, 2010 — Art & Design
If you're a fan of neon, psychedelia and/or surreal cityscapes, you'll appreciate 'Urban Nights & Crazy Lights' by Rafael Andrade. This stunning shoot features an array of neon-lit scenes accentuated by long exposures for a trippy effect.

My favorite image from 'Urban Nights & Crazy Lights' by Rafael Andrade is the first image. The neon lights look like ghosts swirling down the street. Check out more trippy photo features from Trend Hunter's archives below.

Implications - Raver culture continues to gain a strong presence both in the music world as well as within mass society. While this kind of culture was once regarded as counter-culture, it has had a strong penetration on many consumers, who now favor saturated product colors and styles.
Trend Themes
1. Neon-lit Scenes - Exploring the use of neon lights in photography and art to create surreal cityscapes and trippy effects.
2. Raver Culture - The growing influence of raver culture in mainstream society and its impact on consumer preferences for saturated product colors and styles.
3. Long Exposures - Utilizing long exposures in photography to capture movement and create a psychedelic aesthetic.
Industry Implications
1. Photography - Opportunities for photographers to experiment with neon lights, long exposures, and psychedelic effects in their work, catering to the growing interest in surreal cityscapes.
2. Art - Disruptive innovation opportunities for artists to incorporate raver culture, neon lights, and trippy effects into their artwork, appealing to a broad audience that appreciates psychedelic aesthetics.
3. Fashion - Raver-inspired fashion brands can capitalize on the influence of raver culture and the demand for saturated colors and styles, creating unique clothing and accessories that reflect the psychedelic streetography trend.
