A wedding photographer by day, Brandon Witzel's selected portfolio shows a shutterbug who routinely works in such divergent settings it's hard to imagine he has a "comfort zone." Some highlights of the portfolio include shots of a model seductively posed against a white wall with strong and natural bright-white lighting coming in through the window. Another shot shows two gorgeous models posed together wearing outfits that look directly out of an 1930s dust-bowl film. Next on the agenda for Brand Witzel: a little travelling. He has a trip planned for San Francisco in August, Toronto in September, and Chicago in October. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sensual Photography:** There is a growing trend for photographers like Brandon Witzel who specialize in capturing sensuality and style in their work. - **Diverse Settings:** Photographers are increasingly exploring diverse settings, pushing the boundaries of their comfort zones and creating unique and captivating portfolios. - **Traveling Photographers:** Photographers like Brandon Witzel are embracing traveling opportunities to expand their portfolios and capture different locations and cultures. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** The photography industry can benefit from the growing demand for photographers who can bring sensuality and style to their work. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can leverage photographers like Brandon Witzel who can create stunning visuals that evoke the atmosphere of different eras. - **Travel and Tourism:** The travel and tourism industry can collaborate with traveling photographers like Brandon Witzel to showcase destinations through captivating imagery. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Next-Day Wedding Photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-photos.md) - [Revived Modular Photo Booths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frames-booth.md) - [Chief Creative Photographer Jobs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-wailea.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Brand Photography Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vsco.md) - [Elevated Basics Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aaron-levine.md) - [Photographic Winery Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winery-experience.md) - [Professional Portfolio Builders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiler.md)
