# Faceless Subject Photography Jackson Eaton's Artwork Will Leave You Wondering By Ryan Hinkson | Published 2010-08-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jackson-eaton References: [vectroave](http://vectroave.com/2010/08/jackson-eaton-photography/jackson-eaton-photography/) & [jacksoneaton](http://www.jacksoneaton.com/) The first thing I usually notice when looking at [portrait-like photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color) is the subject's eyes. So it's pretty cool that Jackson Eaton's artwork caught my attention, seeing as there are barely any [faces shown](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persona-ai) in this set of work. In this set of mostly [faceless photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faceless-avatar), Jackson Eaton turns heads away from his lens, covers them with clothing, distorts their image and hides eyes with sunglasses -- all with really cool results. **Implications** - With this among of coolness all integrated into one spectacular photographic project it really is no wonder more artists haven't thought of faceless subject photography. In any case I am more than thankful that Jackson Eaton thought of it and created this wondrous artwork that makes you thinking twice about the importance of faces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Faceless Subject Photography:** Opportunity for photographers and artists to explore a new approach to portraiture by obscuring or eliminating the subject's face. - **Distortion & Disguise:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for fashion and beauty industry to explore new aesthetic trends that incorporate distortion and disguise. - **Importance of Eyes:** Opportunities for technology companies to develop new solutions for facial recognition software that can identify individuals despite the obscuring of their eyes. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Photography industry can offer new services and products that incorporate the faceless subject approach to portraiture. - **Fashion & Beauty:** Fashion industry can explore new aesthetic trends that incorporate distortion and disguise, as demonstrated in the artwork. - **Technology:** Technology industry can develop new solutions for facial recognition software that account for the obscuring of the eyes in images. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Abstract Geometric Solo Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impermanent-state-of-being.md) - [Human Duality-Themed Abstract Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passive-aggression.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [AI Avatar Creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faceless-avatar.md)
