These photos were not put on a computer and tampered with to achieve the stunning results. Images were captured by opening and closing a camera’s shutter quickly. Then, with special tools, they are [projected onto a sensor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixybeam) and, voila! These LAPP shots are both amazing and mesmerizing. The LAPP site says the photography is best viewed with the lights off. After viewing them with and without light, I completely agree. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Light Art Performance Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include creating new techniques and tools for capturing and projecting light to create stunning LAPP shots. - **Long-time Bulb Exposure Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include developing new types of bulbs and camera sensors that optimize long-time bulb exposure photography. - **Movement of Light:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include exploring novel ways to control and manipulate the movement of light for artistic and creative purposes. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include creating specialized cameras and accessories tailored for light art performance photography. - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include integrating light art performance photography techniques into various art and design mediums, such as installations and exhibitions. - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include developing advanced imaging technologies and software to enhance and optimize light art performance photography. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Life-Like 3D Canvases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumino.md) - [Festive Light Painting Techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-painting-1.md) - [Time-Lapse Content Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timelapse-content.md) - [Mobile Lighting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/screen-fill-light.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Power-Unlocking Camera Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photon-camera-app.md) - [Collapsible Pro-Grade Photography Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lolito-softlight.md) - [Photographer-Inspired Photo Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-leica-lux-app.md) - [Poetic Rippling Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yurameki.md)
