Big City Night Life Photography

Mr Means Shows Eccentric Characters of the New York Scene

— January 12, 2009 — Art & Design
This is my idea of a city guide: Mr Means took his camera out to the erm: more 'lively' aspects of the New York scene, and the resulting photographs are truly brilliant.

Not only are the images drenched in more glitter than your average sugar plum fairy, but they are also really strong portraits in their own right. These photographs capture the attitude and style of the scene, without giving too much away.

Implications - **You hit on a lot of point here, but it's important to just focus on one. Try answering this question:
Is this trend widely accepted and will big or small businesses benefit from this?

Consumers are naturally curious about things that they aren't necessarily familiar with. This pattern is surfacing because of people's needs to satisfy their curiosity and desire to know more and be more worldly. The Internet has granted people access to these things and now consumers wish to seek them on their own. Businesses can take advantage of this by creating their own products or ideas that are out-of-the box.
Trend Themes
1. Night-life Photography - Opportunities for businesses that cater to the party-goers looking to capture their night-life experiences in a more glamorous and artistic way
2. Eccentric Portrayals - Advancements in photographic technology allow for more imaginative and creative expressions of people's colorful personalities
3. Urban Exploration - Opportunities for businesses providing tours or guides for people looking to explore eye-catching and unconventional aspects of modern culture and politics in urban environments
Industry Implications
1. Photography and Design - Businesses can innovate in the field of creative photography technologies and techniques that cater to the demand for more unique and visually stunning images
2. Hospitality and Tourism - Companies can disrupt the tourism industry by offering city tours that focus on the more offbeat side of city life and attractions
3. Fashion and Beauty - The popularity of eccentric fashion styles and makeup has created opportunities for industry disruptors to come up with original and visually striking products
