In a way, they are wounds. They specifically depict the [destroyed agricultural lands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxeisland-farm) in America. Interestingly, Feedlots by Mishka Henner was not shot in person. In an effort to spare him the legal risk of capturing these horrendous sights, he captured them using [open source satellite imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-fencing). The Belgian photographer writes, "I think what the feedlots represent is a certain logic about how culture and society have evolved. On one level it’s absolutely terrifying, that this is what we’ve become. They’re not just feedlots. They’re how we are." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 76% | 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 - **Satellite Imagery Photography:** The use of open-source satellite imagery presents an opportunity for photographers to capture images without legal risk, enabling documentation of difficult and inaccessible areas. - **Destruction of Agriculture Areas:** Documenting the destruction of agricultural lands showcases an opportunity to raise awareness and promote alternative farming practices. - **Cultural Evolution of Feeding Practices:** Feedlots represent a changing cultural and societal perspective on food production, leading to innovation in sustainable and ethical farming practices. ### Where This Applies - **Agriculture:** There is an opportunity for agriculture industries to adopt sustainable and eco-friendly farming practices to reduce the harmful impact on the environment. - **Photography:** The rise of satellite imagery and unconventional photography techniques provides a disruptive innovation in the field of photography, enabling the capture of images in difficult and inaccessible areas. - **Food Production:** The documented cultural and societal perspective on food production presents disruptive innovation opportunities in eco-friendly and sustainable farming practices to accommodate changing consumer attitudes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dramatic Doomsday Bunker Images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alastair-philip-wiper.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Industrial Architecture-Themed Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrial-archaeology.md) - [Slaugherhouse-Transformed Unique Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anthropocene-museum.md) - [Explosion-Damaged Sculpture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness.md) - [Drone-Assisted Landscape Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katsu-1.md) - [Eco-Farm Landscape Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxeisland-farm.md)
