The subjects are grungy friends in dazed-out scenes. The viewer can imagine context easily through the composition. Every photo feels young, wild and care-free. The wave rider describes his career on his site, "A professional surfer by trade with a few [spare cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tombogo-and-huf) and too much spare time." His lack of seriousness gives his work a refreshing edge- effortless. The dude isn't trying to trying to be cool. The man *is* cool. The simple longing for self-expression can be felt through his work. It's genuine. Using a Pentax Pino 35, Dion Agius photography curation is free-loading and ready to run. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Youthful Rebellion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create products or services that cater to the rebellious and carefree attitude of the younger generation. - **Self-expression:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop platforms or tools that enable individuals to express themselves authentically and genuinely through various forms of art. - **Surfer Lifestyle:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore innovative ways to enhance the surfer experience and create products or services that cater to the needs and interests of surfers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced camera technologies or software that simplify the process of capturing genuine and impactful moments. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create clothing lines or accessories that capture the rebellious and carefree spirit of the surfer scene. - **Tourism:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop unique travel experiences or services that immerse individuals in the surfer lifestyle and culture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Surfing-Focused Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raymond-pettibon-1.md) - [Skateboard-Themed Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabbit-hole-1.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Hipster Era Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cobrasnake-y2ks-archive.md) - [Summer-Inspired Photo Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-dreaming-collection.md) - [Rockstar-Inspired Instant Film Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/for-the-rebel-rebels.md) - [Skate Photography Collaboration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaroid-x-thrasher.md) - [Skateboarding Heritage Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-through-skateboarding.md)
