His life in Iran shots are so compelling that his album that he posted on Reddit took the top overall spot on the page in early March. Living in North America, it seems like the portrayal of Iran and its people can be less-than-favorable sometimes, so Chapple's album provides an invaluable glimpse into the day to day life of the Middle Eastern country. Chapple's photography work is so impressive that he was given an Editor's choice award from [National Geographic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iran-women-craft-lager) in 2012. The astonishing life in Iran photography was achieved with a [Panasonic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panasonic-s1-rii) Lumix GH2 camera and a variety of different lenses. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Middle Eastern Lifestyle Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop platforms and marketplaces that connect photographers to clients interested in authentic and unique cultural photography. ### Where This Applies - **Photography Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create subscription-based platforms that provide access to exclusive photography content from different parts of the world, offering a broader perspective to photography enthusiasts. - **Tourism:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop immersive virtual reality experiences that allow travelers to explore and engage with the daily life and culture of a destination, like Iran, before visiting the country. - **Media and Publishing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partner with photographers like Amos Chapple to create captivating visual storytelling content that challenges stereotypes and provides a more nuanced understanding of different cultures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [AI Travel Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epic-ai-travel-photos.md) - [Travel Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-within-the-detour.md) - [Iranian Fabric Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iranian-fabric-design.md) - [Iran-Inspired Fabric Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-persia.md) - [Nowruz-Celebrating Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iranian-cinema.md) - [AI-Powered Portrait Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-portrait-studio.md) - [Sleek Analog Film Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lomoapparat.md)
