# Surreal Selfie Compositions Izumi Miyazaki Takes Selfies Better Than You Do By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2015-02-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/izumi-miyazaki References: [itsnicethat](http://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/izumi-miyazaki) & [izumimiyazaki.tumblr](http://izumimiyazaki.tumblr.com/) Izumi Miyazaki channels her boredom into art by creating [surreal-looking selfies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aiselfies) with the magic of Photoshop. A teenager taking selfies is nothing new, but Miyazaki's images go above and beyond the typical [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world) fare. The talented 18-year-old uses household and [edible items as props](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looks-delicious) to create her own reality, far removed from the one we're living in. These fascinating dreamscapes are definitely weird, but they're also incredibly welcoming, almost as if inviting the viewer to jump in and join Miyazaki. Stand-out images from Miyazaki's body of work, which is featured on her Tumblr account, include a shot of her peeking out of her own eyelid and another in which she cracks an egg over her own body. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 95% | 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Surreal Selfie Compositions:** Opportunity for photographers to create unique and captivating content by incorporating surreal elements into their self-portraits. - **Photomanipulation Art:** Artists can explore the potential of photomanipulation to create surreal and visually stunning compositions, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. - **Interactive Photography:** The use of props and visual effects in selfies can create an interactive and immersive experience for viewers, engaging them in a participatory way. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** Photography businesses can leverage the trend of surreal self-compositions to offer unique and creative services to clients. - **Digital Media:** Digital media platforms can capitalize on the popularity of surreal selfie compositions by featuring and promoting artists who specialize in this style of photography. - **Advertising:** Brands can incorporate surreal selfie compositions into their advertising campaigns to create visually striking and memorable content that captures the attention of their target audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Imaginative Photo-Editing AI Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/youniverse.md) - [AI-Generated Self-Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persona-ai.md) - [AI Avatar Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfie-ai.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Miniaturized Product Art Photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-muji.md) - [Creative AI Editors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfyzai.md) - [Artsy Surrealist Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gohar-world.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md)
