Serenely Seductive Hipster Portraits

Photographer James Whitmore is Full of Bohemian Beauties

— September 11, 2011 — Fashion
Stockholm-based photographer James Whitmore shoots almost exclusively in analog, and manages to photograph the malaise, mystery, and strange sensuality that has made hipsters and hipster style so fascinating to millions of people, young and old, around the globe.

As a photographer, James Whitmore does not seem concerned with capturing his subjects looking perfect, pristine, or traditionally beautiful. His shots show a shutterbug with a keen eye for shooting bohemian beauties in their natural, distressed habitat. Each photograph is imbued with the aura of a photo shoot that is entirely organic and natural. His photography evokes a sense of longing, but does so while forcing the viewer to create a story surrounding the image.

As a photographer, James Whitmore's greatest strength is his ability to make a very professional shot appear as though it's a simple snap of one friend taken by another. In a day and age where many people deride fashion magazines for focusing too much on Photoshopping and airbrushing to ratchet up the appeal of their pictures, James Whitmore stands tall as a viable alternative. Do not be surprised if you start to see his work popping up in high-fashion magazines in the near future.
Trend Themes
1. Analog Photography Renaissance - The trend of shooting in analog presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for camera manufacturers to develop new products and technologies that cater to the growing demand for vintage-style photography.
2. Authenticity in Fashion Photography - The trend of capturing natural and organic images provides an opportunity for fashion brands and magazines to differentiate themselves from heavily retouched and airbrushed pictures by embracing the raw and genuine aesthetic.
3. Storytelling Through Imagery - The trend of evoking a sense of longing and encouraging viewers to create their own narratives within a photograph opens up opportunities for creative agencies and content creators to develop immersive storytelling experiences.
Industry Implications
1. Camera Manufacturing - Camera manufacturers can leverage the analog photography renaissance to create innovative products that cater to the demand for vintage-style photography.
2. Fashion - Fashion brands and magazines can capitalize on the trend of authenticity in fashion photography by embracing natural, unretouched imagery in their campaigns and editorials.
3. Creative Agencies - Creative agencies can tap into the trend of storytelling through imagery by developing immersive campaigns and content that encourages audience participation and engagement.
