Keith Harris decided he was going to look and feel with them. ‘On the Street’ is a journey that encompassed two years of Harris’ life as he took the time out of his day to sit and converse with [the homeless in Chicago](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-2-the-streetz). He listened to their stories and [photographed their joys and pains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hong-kongmorning). He became friends with some and never knew others. The [photo collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) ‘On the Street’ is an eye-opening experience that everyone should take a quick look at. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Homelessness Awareness:** Emotionography can create empathy and humanize the issue of homelessness. - **Documentary Photography:** Photography can serve as a powerful tool for storytelling and social commentary. - **Community Building:** Personal connections and friendships can be made with marginalized community members to better understand their struggles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Social Services:** Social service organizations can utilize emotionography to educate the public and gain support for their cause. - **Photography:** Photographers can use their craft to document social issues and give voice to those who may not typically be heard. - **Non-profit:** Non-profit organizations can leverage emotionography to advocate for systemic change by sharing powerful stories and images. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [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) - [Homelessness Metaverse Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metaverse-campaign.md) - [Homelessness-Supporting Blanket Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-klein.md) - [Skateboard-Themed Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabbit-hole-1.md) - [Personal Nostalgic Photo Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-ohio.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Community Voices Installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unheard-voices-pavilion.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md)
