These funky photos focus on attractive 20-somethings doing in an urban setting. In many of these photos, Ferguson has inserted vibrant lines of pink, yellow and red into the shots in a way that makes it look like the models are shooting color from their finger tips. One of the photos features a girl lying on the ground, with red lines shooting out from her hands. Another shot portrays a young individual with a bright yellow line passing through their eye. The most quirky and interesting photo in this collection features an eccentric female holding a pair of scissors, and wearing a Zorro style mask. In this shot, yellow lines are shooting out from the veins in her hands. This fun, line-filled portrait series takes interesting photos and adds something extra to them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Color-infused Portraits:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new techniques to add vibrant colors to traditional black and white portraits, creating captivating and attention-grabbing visuals. - **Urban Portrait Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine urban settings with attractive models to create visually striking and trendy portraits that resonate with the target audience. - **Artistic Photo Editing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with unique editing techniques, like inserting colorful lines into photos, to create whimsical and imaginative visuals that stand out from traditional photography. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace innovative and creative approaches to photography to differentiate from competitors and attract a broader range of clients. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with photographers who specialize in urban portrait photography to capture unique and eye-catching visuals that complement fashion campaigns. - **Visual Arts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate innovative photo editing techniques into visual arts practices, pushing the boundaries of traditional art mediums and creating intriguing and dynamic pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Color Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Funky Colorful Storage Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-storage-units.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Artful Self-Expressive Camera Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/z-fc.md) - [Striking Glass Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-portraits.md)
