# Surrealist Smartphone Photography Brock Davis iPhone Photography is Hauntingly Beautiful By Tia Clarke | Published 2013-01-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brock-davis-iphone-photography References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/laserbread) Get a load of these quirky reimaginings of everyday items captured by Brock Davis. The Ad agency creative director has just released his favourite images taken on his [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-brutal) from 2012. From the kiwi fruit with its skin restyled as a moustache to the honey bear bottle urinating, these photos all come with a pinch of the artist's wry sense of humor. In taking these heavily stylised images on his iPhone, Davis has injected fun into the more banal pictures of food typically featured on [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world) and other photo sharing websites. The whimsical work of Brock Davis can also be seen in editorials in Time Magazine, Esquire, Wired, [The New York Times](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crossplay) and Newsweek. It certainly looks like Davis had a blast capturing these colourful images. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Quirky Smartphone Photography:** There is an opportunity for photographers to explore unconventional and creative approaches to smartphone photography, offering a fresh and unique perspective. - **Humorous Food Photography:** Food photographers can incorporate humor and playfulness into their work, attracting a wider audience and standing out in a saturated market. - **Stylized Iphone Photography:** Artists can experiment with stylized iPhone photography to transform ordinary objects into visually stunning and thought-provoking compositions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Advertising and Marketing:** Marketing agencies can utilize quirky smartphone photography to create captivating and memorable advertisements that resonate with consumers. - **Food and Beverage:** Restaurants and food brands can collaborate with photographers to create humorous and eye-catching food photography for their marketing campaigns. - **Art and Photography:** Art galleries and photography studios can showcase and sell stylized iPhone photography as a unique and innovative form of artistic expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Surrealist Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-dali-x-casetify.md) - [Vibrant Sharp-Edged Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-brutal.md) - [Emotive Smartphone Camera Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camera-covers.md) - [Surreal Artist-Inspired Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-dal-collection.md) - [Vintage Imaging Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pgytech-retrova.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Tea-Filled Smartphone Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clip-on-smartphone-lens.md) - [Smartphone App Iconography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ios-app-icon-book.md) - [Generative AI-Powered Hand-Held Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-handheld-camera.md)
