# Third Person Touristography 'Wish You Were Here' by Jonathan May Captures Impromptu Photogs By Michael Hines | Published 2010-05-11 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jonathan-may References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Wish-you-were-here/507129) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Jonathanmay) Jonathan May’s ‘Wish You Were Here’ is all about tourists and their impromptu photographers. Jonathan May takes an interesting approach with his [tourist photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epic-ai-travel-photos) by including the photographer along with the [tacky tourists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/of-course-hong-kong).

But at least now I’m a little more clued in to who they might be. Let the speculation begin. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 4% | 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) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Tourist Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop technology that automatically captures photos of tourists without impeding their experience. - **Photographer Inclusion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a service that pairs professional photographers with tourists to capture high-quality vacation photos. - **Vacation Memories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design a digital platform that organizes and shares vacation photos, allowing users to easily relive and cherish their memories. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced camera technology that recognizes and captures candid tourist moments automatically. - **Tourism:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate augmented reality into tourist attractions to enhance the overall experience and create unique photographic opportunities. - **Digital Sharing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build a secure and user-friendly platform that allows tourists to easily share their vacation photos with friends and family. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Travel Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-within-the-detour.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) - [Personal Nostalgic Photo Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-ohio.md) - [AI Travel Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epic-ai-travel-photos.md) - [Imperfect Photography Celebrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam.md) - [Interactive Colorful Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-hockney-bigger-closer.md) - [Skateboard-Themed Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabbit-hole-1.md)
