# Intimate Animal Street Photgraphy Giacomo Brunelli's Animal-Focused Street Photography is Lovely By Farida Helmy | Published 2014-03-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animalfocused-street-photography References: [featureshoot](http://www.featureshoot.com/2014/03/giacomo-brunelli-tk/) & [giacomobrunelli](http://giacomobrunelli.com) Catching animals in their element with his shots, Giacomo Brunelli and his animal-focused street photography series ‘The Animals’ takes us on morning walks with the photographer when he’s in Italy, wandering around and capturing a multitude of creatures doing their thing. The London-based photographer has built his career around photographing animals because he would spend time playing with them as a child in his native Italy. His new animal-focused street photography series is stunning; all shot in black and white and displayed in a snapshot way, the photographs feel naive and intimate. “I think that is why I push the lens often to its closest point of focus, almost touching the subject and forcing flight or fight from the animal, which is when I then record its reaction,” says Brunelli on his site. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Animal-focused Street Photography:** The trend of capturing animals in their natural environments through street photography, creating intimate and stunning images. - **Black and White Photography:** The trend of using black and white photography to create nostalgic and intimate visuals, emphasizing the emotions and simplicity of the subject. - **Snapshot Photography:** The trend of using snapshot-style photography to capture spontaneous and unposed moments, adding an element of authenticity and immediacy to the images. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the photography industry include developing new equipment or software that enhances the capturing or editing of animal-focused street photography. - **Animal Conservation:** The animal-focused street photography trend presents an opportunity for the animal conservation industry to raise awareness about different species and their habitats, encouraging conservation efforts. - **Tourism:** The tourism industry can leverage animal-focused street photography to promote destinations with diverse wildlife, attracting people who want to experience and photograph animals in their natural environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Pet-Taken Camera Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartography.md) - [Animal-Perspective Video Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/imaging-system-1.md) - [Adorable Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberrys-holiday-campaign.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [AI Pet Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-lens-ai.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Animal-Indexing Camera Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xplra-10.md)
