# Sweet Summer Nostalgia Shots The J. M. Barclay Photography Series Reflects on Nature By Jennifer Gosnell | Published 2012-06-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/j-m-barclay-photography References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/shop/JMBarclayPhotography?page=9) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/people/jmbarclay) The J. M. Barclay photography series features [nostalgic, summer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-fun-times), almost memory-like captures. With the [sunset fading behind the train tracks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunset-spark-card-deck), the beautiful snapshot of a summer memory is created; other captures of flowers depict a breezy, ethereal summer day. What J. M. Barclay does extraordinarily well is capture the feeling of seeing his subject for the first time. With water droplets dripping from blades of grass, his photography gives you a glimpse of some of the best aspects of summer. The vintage bicycle lends a pretty, retro vibe to the series. The most outstanding piece of the collection, in my personal opinion, is of the sea grass framed by the setting sun across the lake. The summer series is a great way to jumpstart summer through some truly beautiful imagery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Nostalgic Photography:** Opportunities for using nostalgic photography to create a sense of familiarity and emotional connection with viewers. - **Summer Memories:** Creating photography that captures the essence of summer and evokes nostalgia for warm, carefree days. - **Natural Beauty:** Showcasing the beauty of nature through photography, highlighting the serene and ethereal aspects of the natural world. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** Incorporating nostalgia and summer themes into photography to create unique and compelling visual content for various purposes. - **Tourism and Travel:** Utilizing nostalgic and summer-themed photography to attract tourists and travelers, promoting destinations and experiences. - **Home Decor:** Using nature-themed photography with nostalgic elements to create wall art and decor items that evoke a sense of nostalgia and tranquility in homes and businesses. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrant Summer Fragrance Spots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-a-summer-favorite.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Retro Doll-Themed Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-film-camera.md) - [Dreamy Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection.md) - [Chalk Streams Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-conceptual-landscape-photographer.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Summer-Themed Gourmet Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-themed-gourmet-chocolates.md) - [Summer-Inspired High-End Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sol-collection.md) - [Evoking Seasonal Scents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evoking-seasonal-scents.md)
