The photos are from the series titled 'Habitat pré-posthume' where Gab syas that he uses a mixture of his own photos from her family and [photos from today](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrova) in order to create his fantasized world. It almost looks as if ghosts from the past were haunting our world today where one photo in particular looks at a woman in a church whom you can see right through! Another focuses on a wedding from the past set on a present beach setting. When Gab creates each photo he is creating a new world with an event made up of both the present and the past. Time doesn't make sense within his series but these pictures sure do from an artist's perspective. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Ghostly Photography:** The trend of combining present and past photographs to create ghostly images presents opportunities for innovative storytelling and nostalgic experiences. - **Fantasy Imaging:** The trend of creating fantasized worlds through photography allows for imaginative storytelling and exploration of alternate realities. - **Time-bending Art:** The trend of defying traditional notions of time in artwork opens up opportunities for unique visual narratives and thought-provoking concepts. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Photography:** The art and photography industry can explore and capitalize on the trend of combining present and past photographs to create visually compelling and emotionally evocative works. - **Visual Storytelling:** The visual storytelling industry can leverage the trend of creating fantasized worlds through photography to engage audiences in immersive narratives and captivating experiences. - **Nostalgia Marketing:** The marketing industry can tap into the trend of defying traditional notions of time in artwork to evoke nostalgia and create meaningful connections with consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Time-Altering Digital Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-machine-feature.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [AI-Generated Retrofuturistic Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturistic-objects.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Otherwordly Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-monk.md) - [AI-Generated Selfies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreambooth.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md)
