# Dynamic Urban Photography Emotive Shots of Nu-Jerzey Devil and Young Leek by James Johnson By Ignazia C | Published 2009-12-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/james-johnson References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Recording-ArtistProducer-Nu-Jerzey-Devil/376317) & [modelmayhem](http://www.modelmayhem.com/jamesjohnson) Up-and-coming phtographer James Johnson grew up on the streets of inner-city Camden, New Jersey and he hasn’t forgotten that. Johnson's photos of recording artists give him a way to combine his two passions: music and photography. There are many examples of [urban photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hipstamatic) out there, but this particular collection rings true more than most. That’s because James Johnson still walks the same streets he always has with the same friends he’s always had. He doesn’t just talk the talk--he walks the walk *and* takes pictures along the way. These [photos of recent shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-editions) with recording artists Nu-Jerzey Devil and Young Leek showcase his street cred. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Authentic Urban Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a platform that connects urban photographers with local recording artists to capture authentic moments in their natural environment. - **Combining Passion and Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a platform that enables artists to showcase their unique talents by combining their passions in different art forms. - **Street Cred Aesthetic:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design a streetwear brand or fashion line that incorporates urban photography to create a genuine street cred aesthetic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced AI-powered image recognition technology to assist photographers in capturing emotionally charged images in urban environments. - **Music:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build a digital platform that connects emerging recording artists with photographers specializing in urban photography for unique promotional content. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Launch a streetwear brand that collaborates with urban photographers to create an authentic and captivating visual representation of street culture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Skateboard-Themed Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabbit-hole-1.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Miniature Artful Hip-Hop Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danny-cortes.md) - [Youth-Led Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/where-are-you-going.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Human Duality-Themed Abstract Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passive-aggression.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md)
