Each picture takes place at night in a divine nature setting. With the addition of a variety of bright colored lights, the focus of the piece is shifted. The artist does a wonderful job of creating the [vibrant contrast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer) between the dark scenery and the colorful lighting. The effect that occurs by way of water and land reflections is marvelous. Each glowing addition brightens up the landscape in which it is situated. Barry is currently a professor at an art institute and his work has been featured internationally. He certainly displays why he holds that title with these fabulous landscape photos. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Colored Illumination:** Using colored lights to enhance photography creates a unique and eye-catching visual experience. - **Nighttime Photography:** Capturing photos in dark landscape settings at night offers a new perspective and aesthetic to traditional photography. - **Vibrant Contrast:** Creating a contrast between dark scenery and vibrant lighting adds depth and visual intrigue to photographs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Incorporating colored illumination in photography can open up new creative opportunities for photographers and artists. - **Art Education:** Teaching techniques like colored illumination in art institutes can inspire students to explore innovative ways of expressing themselves. - **Fine Arts Exhibitions:** Showcasing Barry Underwood's illuminated illusion photos in international galleries can attract art enthusiasts looking for unique and visually stunning pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md) - [Immersive Light Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spencer-finch.md) - [Illuminated Curtained Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Immersive Light Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Tree Branch-Formed Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celestial-attraction.md) - [Orb Lighting Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mangrove-island.md) - [Light-Based Walking Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illumination-tree-lights.md)
