# Feathered Camera Prints The Birds of Aperture by Paul Octavious are Stunning By Cody Turner | Published 2012-09-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birds-of-aperture References: [thefoxisblack](http://www.thefoxisblack.com/2012/09/13/birds-of-aperture-two-new-prints-by-paul-octavious/) & [justafewprints](http://justafewprints.com/) Renowned photographer Paul Octavious just recently released a new series of prints this morning titled Birds of Aperture. These two prints feature [old vintage cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sony) transformed into in-flight birds. The first in the series is named Sawyer, a [white feathered camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-boots), and the second is titled Pilot, a large black feathered bird made from an old Pilot camera. Both prints are museum quality and made out of archival inks. Paul Octavious is including signed certificates with each prints and he claims they are "packaged with love." These prints are a fun and whacky way of transforming old cameras, and the [minimalistic approach](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/z-fc) to the birds is what Paul Octavious is known for. I like the blown-out look of the Sawyer print, because the wings blend into the blank background, but I also enjoy how intense the Pilot bird is with its large black wings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Upcycling Camera Prints:** Entrepreneurs can explore opportunities to upcycle old cameras into unique and artistic prints. - **Minimalistic Art:** Artists and designers can create new minimalist art forms that appeal to individuals who value simplicity and whimsy. - **Sustainable Printing:** Printing companies can focus on producing more sustainable and eco-friendly print methods that utilize archival inks and materials. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can leverage the minimalist approach in creating unique and unconventional artworks. - **Photography:** Photography industries can explore creating unique and artistic prints from old cameras that can appeal to a wide range of consumers. - **Printing:** The printing industry can focus on creating more sustainable print methods and materials that appeal to environmentally conscious customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smart Hummingbird Feeders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feathersnap-hummingbird-feeder.md) - [360-Degree Camera Bird Feeders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birdfy-feeder-vista.md) - [Pride-Honoring Bird Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pride-birds.md) - [Hummingbird Camera Feeders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hum-bloom.md) - [Revolutionary Bird-Watching Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolutionized-smart-nest-box-nest-box-live-has-built-a-device-showing-bird.md) - [AI-Powered Bird Feeder Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netvue-birdfy.md) - [Eco-Friendly Paper Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-camera.md) - [AI-Powered Bird Feeder Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-bird-feeders.md) - [AI-Enhanced Bird Baths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birdfy-bath-pro.md)
