Each piece portrays various shutterbug enthusiasts who look like they're about to take a photograph of the street and its pedestrians. The duo uses stencils to create their portraits, which creates a clean effect. Jana und JS have also done other types of [street art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1); however, these ironically clever pieces are my personal favorite. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% 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) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Portrait Graffiti:** Street art trends towards designing and creating large-scale portraits of real-life enthusiasts provides unique branding opportunities for portrait photography businesses - **Stenciled Graffiti:** Design surge for stencils for graphic art prints on niche merchandise like T-shirts and shopping bags opens up new opportunities for marketers to tap into graffiti culture - **Photography-inspired Street Art:** A trend for graffiti artists to use photography as inspiration for their projects leads to a new era of collaboration opportunities between the two industries ### Who This Affects Most - **Graffiti Art:** The trend for large-scale portrait graffiti offers innovative opportunities for artists to upend and refresh the traditional street art market - **Photography:** Collaborative opportunities between photographers and graffiti artists as seen in this trend provide opportunities for the photography industry to reach new audiences and create unique art pieces. - **Merchandise Printing:** The trend towards stenciled graphic art prints creates a new opportunity for businesses to capitalize on this form of street culture to create new, trendy merchandise ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Evolved Vibrant Graffiti Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jan-kalb.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md) - [Photograph-Centric Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photography-seoul-museum-of-art.md) - [Confectionary Graffiti Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jolly-rancher-gummie.md) - [Artistically Adorned Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artlifting.md) - [Artist-Honoring Instant Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/now-i2-camera.md) - [Drone-Assisted Landscape Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katsu-1.md) - [Street-Informed Camouflage Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-stash-and-leica.md)
