Photographer Gilles Bensimon wanted to express the unlimited beauty of blooms from all around the world in a completely different and unexpected way. He submerged various [floral arrangements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-preservation) into [clear blue waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqua-gallery) to give them a mysterious and surreal look where colors and lines blend together, creating a single mass of enchanting foliage. Light glimmers off the rippled surface, adding a layer of shine and texture on top of the natural beauty of the flowers. The element of water in the Gilles Bensimon Watercolor photography series gives the brightly colored blooms a painted appearance. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Submerged Photography Trend:** The trend towards underwater photography shows opportunities for innovative and unique ways to capture the beauty of objects. - **Surreal Floral Arrangement Trend:** The trend towards surreal floral arrangements presents an opportunity for innovative and creative ways to showcase natural beauty. - **Texture-enhanced Photography Trend:** The trend towards texture-enhanced photography presents opportunities to add layers of depth and texture to create visually captivating images. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fine Art Photography Industry:** The fine art photography industry can incorporate underwater photography to showcase unique perspectives and new art forms. - **Floral Industry:** The floral industry can explore new ways to showcase natural beauty through innovative and surreal floral arrangements. - **Print and Home Decor Industry:** The print and home decor industry can incorporate texture-enhanced photography to produce eye-catching and unique home decor products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Hand-Painted Watercolor Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-webster.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Mesmerizing Fluid Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flow-fountain.md) - [Petal-Inspired Glass Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloom-wall-light.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Delicate Colorful Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delicate-colorful-vase.md) - [Stone Floral Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lithic-bloom.md) - [Floral Champagne Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perrier-jouet-house-of-wonder.md)
