It's not that I am overly concerned with trying to "get it," but I just can't stop looking at these images. The subjects at times play second fiddle to [red balloons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery), red scarves, red makeup and walls splashed with red paint. There are also a couple of picture where the [subjects faces are covered in sheets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take), keeping them anonymous, but no less interesting the Alberto Polo Ianez [photography series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhinoceros-gallery1) is the kind of stuff I find myself looking at for hours. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 57% | 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) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Anonymous Emotive Photography:** This trend creates opportunities for photographers to capture emotions without revealing the subjects' identities. - **Red as a Dominant Element:** This trend presents opportunities for designers and marketers to use red as a powerful visual tool to evoke emotions and draw attention. - **Obscuring the Subject's Identity:** This trend offers opportunities for artists and photographers to create intriguing and mysterious visuals by obscuring the faces of their subjects. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Photographers can explore new techniques and styles inspired by anonymous emotive photography. - **Design:** Designers can use the dominance of red as a strategic choice to create impactful visual communication for brands. - **Art:** Artists can experiment with the concept of anonymity and the allure of mystery in their creative expressions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Color Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Imperfect Photography Celebrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam.md) - [Thought-Provoking Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antibodies-installation.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Object Design-Explorative Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apartamento-secreto.md) - [Art-Inspired Streetwear Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silent-echoes.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md)
