# Candid Back Photography 'Chill' Captures a Unique Secretive and Unedited Human Form By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-06-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-photography References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/en/2016/06/14/backs-of-people-photography/) & [chillphotographie](http://chillphotographie.com/index.html) 'Chill' identifies as an indie artist from Strasbourg, France, whose collection of back photography lenses honest and intimate moments with its subjects, with his style reflecting the name he goes by. As he explains, Chill is attracted to spontaneous and genuine situations -- a preference that is displayed well in his work. His focus is on everyday people, preferring to show unedited photos rather than refined and construed situations. His back photography captures a certain honesty that comes from his choice to use natural lighting and intimate settings, making for imagery that exposes a sense of vulnerability and closeness. Chill's other work tends to show women of diverse body types in natural states, expanding his candid collection to include more sensual and personal moments. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 94% | 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 - **Natural Photography:** The trend of capturing spontaneous and genuine moments with natural lighting and settings can be leveraged by camera and photography equipment manufacturers to develop products that support and enhance this style of photography. - **Body Positivity:** The trend of showcasing women of diverse body types in natural states offers opportunities for fashion and beauty industries to promote body positivity through inclusive campaigns and products. - **Authentic Content Creation:** The trend of sharing unedited and relatable photos through social media platforms presents opportunities for content creation agencies and social media tools to develop features that encourage authentic sharing and storytelling. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Camera and Photography Equipment Manufacturing:** The natural photography trend opens up potential for the development of products that support spontaneous and candid photographic styles. - **Fashion and Beauty Industries:** The body positivity trend provides opportunities to promote inclusivity and diversity in fashion and beauty campaigns and products. - **Content Creation and Social Media Platforms:** The trend of sharing authentic content presents opportunities for content creation agencies and social media platforms to develop features that encourage genuine sharing and storytelling. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Artful Camo Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylrk-camo.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [AI-Powered Portrait Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-portrait-studio.md) - [Unretouched Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dove-reimagine-beauty.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Outdoor-Inspired Colorful Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travis-weller.md)
