# Devoted Follower Photoshoots James Midwinter 'Cult' Shoot is Creepily Cool By Robyn Currie | Published 2010-03-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/james-midwinter-cult References: [cakeheadlovesevil.wordpress](http://cakeheadlovesevil.wordpress.com/2010/03/24/cultish-james-midwinter/) & [jamesmidwinter](http://www.jamesmidwinter.com/) Cults are fascinating to me. I think it is because we could all so easily become part of one (perhaps we already are). Anyway, this is why I am so gravitated towards the James Midwinter 'Cult' [photo project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-ohio). The James Midwinter 'Cult' shoot features loads of [creepy dudes in cloaks and hoods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir), the sight of which would frighten almost any non-cult member. It's definitely the sort of shoot that'll stick in your head for awhile. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Creepy Cult Photoshoots:** Trend of photo projects featuring creepy cult themes opens up opportunities for photographers to explore dark and unconventional concepts. - **Fascination with Cults:** Growing interest in cults among the public presents opportunities for filmmakers and storytellers to create compelling narratives that explore the psychology and allure of these groups. - **Psychological Exploration in Photography:** Trend of delving into the psychological aspects of cults through photography offers photographers a chance to capture intriguing and thought-provoking images that challenge societal norms. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Photography industry can leverage the trend of creepy cult photoshoots to offer unique and unconventional services for clients looking for edgy and memorable visual content. - **Film and Television:** Film and television industry can capitalize on the fascination with cults to develop compelling and suspenseful storytelling that explores the mysteries and psychology behind these secretive groups. - **Psychology and Mental Health:** Psychology and mental health professionals can use the popularity of cult-themed content to engage with the public, educate about the dangers of manipulation, and raise awareness about the impact of cults on individuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cult Movies-Inspired Graphic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/film-club-collection.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Dramatic Doomsday Bunker Images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alastair-philip-wiper.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Conceptual Memory-Themed Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paranoid-fw25.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Curated Horror Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tales-of-the-weird.md)
