# Everyday Magic Photography Ezgi Polat Captures Moments in Her Daily Life By Berceuse Melodies | Published 2010-11-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ezgi-polat References: [ezgipolat.de](http://ezgipolat.de/) 20-year old Ezgi Polat's body of work is nothing short of spectacular. This young photographer from Germany uses a [manual film camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrova) and develops and scans her own negatives, allowing her to have full control of the [color and exposure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyedropper) of her photographs. What I love most about Ezgi Polat's photos are the textures and tones. They are so nostalgic and remind me of those [old photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grainify) you find in your grandmother's attic, the ones that are full of memories. I hope you find Ezgi Polat's photographs to be just as beautiful as I did. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Film Photography Revival:** The rise of Ezgi Polat's manual film photography showcases a growing trend in embracing analog techniques in the digital age. - **DIY Film Development:** Ezgi Polat's self-developing and scanning process highlights a trend towards increased control and customization in film photography. - **Nostalgic Aesthetics:** Ezgi Polat's use of textures and tones taps into the trend of creating photos that evoke a sense of nostalgia and vintage charm. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** The field of photography can explore new techniques and technologies to facilitate a resurgence in manual film photography. - **Film Processing:** The film processing industry can develop innovative solutions to cater to a growing market of individuals who prefer self-development and scanning. - **Art and Home Decor:** The art and home decor industry can capitalize on the demand for nostalgic aesthetics by offering products that reflect Ezgi Polat's style and evoke a sense of sentimental value. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Imperfect Photography Celebrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam.md) - [Miniaturized Product Art Photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-muji.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [AI Travel Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epic-ai-travel-photos.md) - [Personal Nostalgic Photo Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-ohio.md) - [Functional Gingerbread Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-camera.md) - [Timeless Photo Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photos-by-artkive.md) - [Artistic Photography Instant Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moir-21-instant-film-camera.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md)
