Although there are a ton of artists out there that have embraced such creative portraitures of late, he focuses on [nature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highwood-installation) as well to really elevate his portfolio over many others. Whether it is the ghostly landscapes or his interaction with them, Evan James Atwood pays tribute to his surroundings in a reverent way. Based in Nottingham, England, Evan James Atwood certainly has a lot of inspiration to pull from. In one image he is soaring over snow covered planes to capture a hot air balloon in flight. In another he is immersed in murky orange-colored waters and another still he is growing a tree out of his mouth. Imagination and creativity are not in short supply here. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Surreal Nature-embracing Portraits:** Capturing portraits that combine surreal elements with nature can create captivating and visually stunning imagery. - **Ghostly Landscapes:** Creating photographs that evoke an ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere can appeal to audiences looking for a sense of escapism and intrigue. - **Interactive Photography:** Incorporating the photographer into the scene and engaging with the surroundings adds a unique and personal touch to the images, fostering a deeper connection with the audience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** The photography industry can explore innovative techniques and concepts, such as combining surrealism with nature, to create captivating and unique visuals. - **Art:** Artists can draw inspiration from surreal nature-embracing portraits to push boundaries and create thought-provoking and visually stunning artworks. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Brands can leverage surreal nature-embracing portraits to create eye-catching and memorable campaigns that stand out in a saturated media landscape. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Chalk Streams Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-conceptual-landscape-photographer.md) - [Otherwordly Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-monk.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Nature-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humannature-1.md) - [Hand-Painted Watercolor Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-webster.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Outdoor Floral Sculpture Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptures-at-kew-gardens.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md)
