# Freak Show Photography The Lyndon Wade Surrealism Collection By Alex Scott | Published 2010-02-10 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freak-show-photography References: [whitezine](http://www.whitezine.com/en/photography/lyndon-wade.html) & [lyndonwade](http://lyndonwade.com/#/portfolio/the-birds/) I quite enjoy the [freaky photoshopping](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) often found in the sleeves of rock alternative albums. Therefore I have somewhat of a morbid fascination with the Lyndon Wade Surrealism Collection. The photos are pretty bizarre, resembling that of a poster for a 70’s traveling carnival. I assure you, however, this is no three ring circus. Photoshopping that seems this seamless surely takes a plethora of talent to create. The Lyndon Wade Surrealism Collection has a [cool-creepy vibe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tales-of-the-weird) that very few artists can harness. Still, you won’t see me hanging these pictures at my bedside. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Bizarre Photoshopping:** There is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating advanced photo editing software that can seamlessly create bizarre and surreal images. - **Cool-creepy Vibe:** There is potential for disruptive innovation in the art and design industry to create unique and captivating visuals with a cool-creepy aesthetic. - **Surrealism Collection:** There is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fine art industry to explore and promote surrealism through various mediums. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** The photography industry can explore new techniques and tools to create surreal and captivating images. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can leverage the cool-creepy aesthetic to create innovative and thought-provoking visuals. - **Fine Art:** The fine art industry can embrace and promote surrealism through exhibitions, galleries, and digital platforms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Iconic Band Apparel Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaks-store-2.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Psychedelic Hand-Painted Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-iii.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Otherwordly Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-monk.md) - [Dramatic Doomsday Bunker Images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alastair-philip-wiper.md) - [AI-Generated Retrofuturistic Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturistic-objects.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md)
