# Wayward Youth Photography Amber Grace Dixon Photographs Morose Youths in an Abandoned House By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-04-15 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amber-grace-dixon References: [vice](http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/two-guys-a-bull-terrier-and-an-abandoned-house) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Ambergracedixon) Amber Grace Dixon's latest project for Vice is pretty straight-forward: just two guys, a bull terrier and an abandoned house. The simple editorial features models Angus McGuinness and Sebastian Ahman as [sad, sullen youths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywood-breakfast-club) who stumble upon an abandoned house in their search for adventure. The shoot appeals to an exploratory instinct in all of us. After all, who can resist the temptation of wandering in abandoned territory, imagining the story of the previous owners? The home is austere and bare, lending the shoot a melancholy vibe. The boys were styled by Safiya Yekwai in a hipster uniform of combat boots, mesh shirts and tapered pants. Their hair and makeup were done by Phoebe Alana Brown. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Abandoned Urban Photography:** Opportunity for innovative photography style that explores neglected and unkempt urban spaces. - **Youth Melancholy Culture:** Opportunity to observe the melancholic moods and experiences of the youthful generation. - **Hipster Fashion & Styling:** Opportunity to create and develop youth-oriented, anti-establishment fashion trends. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Opportunity for innovative photography techniques using abandoned urban spaces as a backdrop. - **Fashion & Apparel:** Opportunity for developing new, hipster-inspired fashion trends for the youth market. - **Publishing:** Opportunity for publishing fashion, art, and photographic portfolios catering to the youth melancholy culture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Illustrated Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei.md) - [Personal Nostalgic Photo Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-ohio.md) - [Home-Defining Artistic Flags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everything-is-temporary.md) - [Youth Streetwear Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diary-1999.md) - [Skateboard-Themed Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabbit-hole-1.md) - [Youth-Led Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/where-are-you-going.md) - [Dramatic Doomsday Bunker Images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alastair-philip-wiper.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Graphic Artist-Collab Limited Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-and-budweiser.md)
