# Cheeky Accessories Photography ‘Plastic Bag Series' Ads Require A Second Look By Cowbag | Published 2009-03-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeky-photography-riske-accessories-imagery References: [paulgravescreative](http://www.paulgravescreative.com) I adore the cheeky fun feel Paul Graves injects into his [accessories photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-luxury-leather-goods). The 'plastic bag series' from Die Zeit is a strong example of how the innovative photography can actually make you want to see more of the products. I also love the exceptional 'sexual' way in which the men's accessories were pictured, again breathes life into what should be essentially a fairly dull product to look at. **Implications** - Plastic has been pitted as one of the great evils that the [eco-movement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coachtopia-1) has positioned itself against. Eco-oriented consumers are apt to see the value in carrying [tote bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waitrose-x-lulu-guinness-tote) and purchasing products not made from plastic. Companies should consider the type of material that they use in both their products and packaging to attract to this knowledgable group. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Innovative Photography:** Exploring new ways to showcase products through creative and unconventional photography techniques. - **Cheeky Accessories:** Injecting humor and playfulness into accessories to create a more engaging and memorable consumer experience. - **Eco-friendly Materials:** Increasing consumer demand for products made from sustainable and non-plastic materials, driving companies to explore alternative options. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunities for brands to differentiate themselves by infusing humor and creativity into their accessory designs and marketing. - **Photography Services:** The need for photographers specializing in innovative techniques to help brands stand out in their product visuals. - **Sustainable Packaging:** Growing market for eco-friendly packaging solutions as companies seek alternatives to plastic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Statement Grocery Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trollex.md) - [Grocery Bag Runway Accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/march-packable-tote-bag.md) - [Whimsical Garbage Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-garbage-bags.md) - [Pastry-Inspired Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greggs-sausage-roll-clutch.md) - [Retail Overconsumption Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coachtopia-1.md) - [Bag-Accented Bag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plastic-bag.md) - [Bespoke Bakery-Inspired Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-bag.md) - [Stylish Cooler Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tote-cooler.md) - [Fashion-Forward Grocery Totes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waitrose-x-lulu-guinness-tote.md)
