# Sharp Serendipitous Shoots Jordi Huisman's 'Close, But Not Really' Series Captures Almere Poort By Meghan Young | Published 2011-06-01 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/close-but-not-really References: [lifelounge.au](http://www.lifelounge.com.au/blogs/goldpox/jordi-huisman-photography.aspx) & [jordihuisman.nl](http://www.jordihuisman.nl/index.php?/project/-close-but-not-really/) There is something subtly serendipitous about the 'Close, But Not Really' photo series. The title itself is evidently enough to give viewers plenty to think about. Shot by Amsterdam-based photographer Jordi Huisman, the 'Close, But Not Really' photo series documents Holland's fastest growing city Almere Poort. Although full of budding life, the landscape is nevertheless sterile and fabricated, a quality that is captured in this series. What I particularly like about the 'Close, But Not Really' photo series is how it enlightens viewers and presents a very different [city and culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epic-ai-travel-photos). The world is getting smaller and smaller, and [photography is just one way](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-within-the-detour) of bringing individuals of all areas closer together. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Subtle Serendipity:** Incorporate elements of serendipity and surprise in product design and customer experiences. - **Captured Contrasts:** Explore the contrast between natural and artificial landscapes to create visually stunning aesthetic experiences. - **Cultural Connections:** Use visual storytelling to bridge cultural gaps and build understanding in a globalized world. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Photography:** Leverage photography to capture unique perspectives and challenge traditional notions of beauty and reality. - **Urban Planning and Architecture:** Integrate elements of nature and artificiality in urban design to create captivating and thought-provoking environments. - **Travel and Tourism:** Promote cultural exchange and understanding through visually compelling travel experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [AI-Generated Retrofuturistic Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturistic-objects.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Industrial Architecture-Themed Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrial-archaeology.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md)
