# Homeless Kidtography 'Abandoned' by Coral Fletcher Captures an Orphaned Child By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-11-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abandoned-by-coral-fletcher References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Abandoned-a/351780) If you're looking for a photo shoot that will tug at your heartstrings this Sunday morning, 'Abandoned' by Coral Fletcher is just the ticket. This photo shoot features an [orphaned child](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sos-childrens-villages-portugal) on the grounds of an abandoned house clutching her beloved stuffed bunny. 'Abandoned' by Coral Fletcher is a sobering shoot that reminds me of a [stat I read](http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/03/10/homeless.children/index.html) earlier this year that 1 in 50 kids in the United States is homeless. I don't know if Fletcher had activism or social issues in mind when she staged this pictorial, but the association is almost impossible to ignore. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Homeless Youth Advocacy:** Opportunity for companies to support organizations and campaigns that advocate for homeless youth - **Orphaned Child Portraiture:** Photography trend that captures the heart and story of orphaned children - **Abandoned Locations:** Increasing trend in photography that showcases abandoned locations for artistic expression ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Non-profit:** Opportunity for non-profit organizations to support homeless youth advocacy and raise awareness - **Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to embrace the orphaned child portraiture trend - **Architecture:** Opportunity to showcase innovative ways to repurpose abandoned locations for creative purposes ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Living Condition Awareness Dollhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwelcome-home.md) - [Heartfelt Adoption Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homecentre-thehomecoming.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Homeless Awareness Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-address.md) - [Domestic Awareness Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-is-not-a-home.md) - [Mental Health-Supporting Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-last-photo.md) - [Female Orphanage Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otb-foundation.md) - [Mock Social Good Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-models-own.md) - [Personal Nostalgic Photo Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-ohio.md)
