# Technicolor Wave Photography Arnaud Lajeunie Striking Images of Dyed Waves are Breathtaking By M | Published 2014-05-29 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arnaud-lajeunie References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/arnaud-lajeunie-water-meets-colour-colour-meets-water) & [arnaudlajeunie](http://www.arnaudlajeunie.com/) Photographer Arnaud Lajeunie's series 'Water Meets Color, Color Meets Water' depicts several breathtaking images of [gradient tie-dye waves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation) crashing along beach rocks. To create these stunning water images, Lajeunie used sugar-based color dyes to tint the [color of the ocean water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color). The dyes are mixed to create a gradient-like effect upon the water's surface. The waves drastically change from deep navy blue to bright pink or neon orange to create a dynamically striking visual. As the waves crash vigorously against rocks and return to the sea, the viewer is left with a feeling of disrupted serenity. This imposing man-made interference of [coloring natural ocean waves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seahorse-coffee-table) in a way speaks to how humans are constantly compromising the environment for their own personal benefits. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 76% | 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) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Color-dyed Waves:** Opportunity to explore creative ways of manipulating natural elements for visually striking aesthetics. - **Gradient Effect:** Opportunity to apply gradient techniques to create captivating visuals in various industries. - **Disrupted Serenity:** Opportunity to disrupt traditional concepts of harmony and tranquility through unexpected combinations. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to experiment with unconventional techniques to create unique and captivating images. - **Art:** Opportunity for artists to incorporate gradient effects and unconventional colors in their artwork to create visually stunning pieces. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion designers to draw inspiration from color-dyed waves and incorporate gradient patterns and vibrant hues into their designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Candy-Colored Glass Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-ii.md) - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Laser-Enabled Color Discoveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-olo.md) - [Sky-Based Visual Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stratosplash.md) - [Eco-Friendly Fashion Color Dyes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cone-denim-1.md) - [Artful Sculptural Ceramic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-collection-1.md) - [Oceanic-Themed Playful Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-cober.md) - [High-Frequency Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yolo-paint.md)
