Pretty much showing superimposing [anatomy sketches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voka-anatomy-pro) directly on top of actual photos, the series is [artistically textbook-like](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawing-series). Created by Tokyo-based Wataru Yoshida, the Composition of Mammals series would make an interesting conversation-starter when hung in any space. It's no surprise that Yoshida was an Adobe Design Achievement Awards 2010 Illustration Finalist. He is currently studying design at the Tama Art University. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Photography-illustration Blend:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in creating new art forms - **Anatomy Superimposition:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in medical education materials - **Textbook-inspired Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in creating art that serves educational purposes ### Who This Affects Most - **Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in creating new art forms and media - **Medical Education:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in developing innovative teaching materials - **Publishing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in creating textbooks or similar educational materials with visually appealing illustrations ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artistic Jaw-Dropping Lessons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masters-of-anatomy.md) - [Biology-Inspired Porcelain Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Miniaturized Product Art Photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-muji.md) - [Almost-Extinct Animal Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauna-series.md) - [Illustrated Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei.md) - [Collaborative Sculptural Art Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neojomon-biomorphic-fantme.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md)
