# Eerie Ink Splatter Photography J.D. Doria Uses 3D Printing and Acrylics to Create Mysterious Works By | Published 2013-06-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ink-splatter-photo References: [lostateminor](http://www.lostateminor.com/2013/06/19/organic-transcendence-a-trip-into-beautiful-chaos/) & [jd-doria](http://jd-doria.com/) J.D. Doria's eerie ink splatter photos are incredibly inventive creations combining both art and technology. Using a combination of ink, acrylics and glass, Doria creates images of [ink spreading through murky fluids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow) to create surreal and fluid movements. He then captures these images using a camera before feeding them into a [3D scanner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbyt), which extrapolates the particles shown, blowing them up into a single frame to produce a single, still image. These ethereal images are [extraterrestrial in appearance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alien-vases), almost as if they were depicting some far-off galaxy. Different molecules and other tiny particles merge together to produce a chaotic, yet cohesive, photograph. With their vibrant colors, flowing movements and otherworldly atmosphere, Doria's photographs are both philosophical and visually stunning, creating works that are simultaneously cerebral and visceral. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eerie Ink Splatter Photography:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Exploring the use of 3D printing and acrylics to create unique and mysterious works of art. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Photography:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Incorporating technology, such as 3D scanning, into traditional art forms to push the boundaries of creativity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed Colorful Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivier-van-herpt-1.md) - [Spiral Glass Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiral-glass.md) - [Limited 3D-Printed Ceramic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyadic-series.md) - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Textural Porcelain Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamara-efrat.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Motion Liquid Art Distortions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lidris.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md)
