The series is a nod to Hopper’s famed command of composition, tone, hue and mood. Tuschman put together pieces by first photographing models against a plain background. He then took photographic images of [dollhouse furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-muji)—some of which he built himself—on his set. The photographs of the models and sets were then fused in Photoshop to create marvelous digital composites. This method gave Tuschman a huge amount of control over every aspect and detail of the photographs. The Hopper Meditations were borne out of Tuschman’s love for the [physical presence of paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith) and his belief that photography is unsurpassed when it comes to emphasizing visual richness. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Digitally Manipulated Photography:** There is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating new techniques and technologies for digitally manipulating photographs. - **Inspired by Art:** There is potential for disruptive innovation in developing new ways to incorporate elements of famous artwork into various forms of media. - **Controlled Composition:** There is a chance for disruptive innovation in creating tools and software that provide photographers with more control over the composition and details of their photographs. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Photography industries can consider incorporating digitally manipulated techniques to enhance visual richness and creative possibilities. - **Art and Design:** Art and design industries can explore new ways to incorporate elements of famous artwork into their products and services. - **Software Development:** Software development industries can focus on creating tools and software that provide photographers with greater control over the composition and details of their photographs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Highly-Immersive Artist Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dennis-hopper.md) - [Artist-Honoring Bedroom Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esquisses-collection.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Interactive Colorful Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-hockney-bigger-closer.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Personal Nostalgic Photo Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-ohio.md) - [Spiritual Meditation Chair Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12-chairs-for-meditation.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md)
