This young photographer has been stepping on to the photography scene with big talent. The use of water as a backdrop for photography not only requires special waterproof equipment, but it also entails a whole other realm of lighting challenges. For a fresh photographer like Fawley, the bold decision to literally dive head-first into aquatic photography may be bold, but it has certainly paid off. Each of the photographs in the Blake Fawley 'Colour Studies' series is unique, and not all are necessarily aquatic. This series also contains interesting photos with [differing color washes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color). You are sure to never get bored while looking through this photographer's collections! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Underwater Photography:** With the increasing demand for unique and visually-stimulating shots, underwater photography presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the photography industry. - **Waterproof Technology:** The need for specialized equipment for underwater photography presents an opportunity for companies to develop and improve on waterproof technology, creating new opportunities in the technology industry. - **Chromatic Photography:** As more photographers experiment with color and lighting in their work, chromatic photography presents an opportunity to offer new and innovative techniques and products in the photography industry. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Underwater photography offers a novel and visually-stimulating style, creating opportunities for photographers to specialize in this area and offer new services to clients. - **Technology:** The need for waterproof equipment in underwater photography creates opportunities for companies in the technology industry to develop and improve on waterproof technology. - **Fashion:** Underwater photography presents new opportunities for fashion photographers and clothing companies in creating unique and eye-catching campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Summer-Inspired Photo Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-dreaming-collection.md) - [Chalk Streams Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-conceptual-landscape-photographer.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Hand-Painted Watercolor Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-webster.md) - [Fluid Basketball-Net Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swimming-pools-and-bubblegum.md) - [Color Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md)
