# Splashy Spotlit Portraits The Liquid Glass Photography Turns Clear Canisters into Raging Tsunamis By Nikki Taylor | Published 2012-10-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-glass-photography References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/en/2012/10/02/liquid-glass/) & [jbfotografia](http://www.jbfotografia.com/255670/home) Watch water and [see-through decanters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistry-in-oak) collide in the Jean Bérard Fotografia (JBF) Liquid Glass photography. Liquids are filmed splashing up against the sides of canisters, twisting around them like water serpents and ensnaring them in a deathly grip. The force of the clear liquid causes [rippling patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripple-light) to appear on the smooth glassy surface of each container. Magically, the water seems to be frozen in time once it hits the glass surface with only a few droplets escaping to the background of the overall photo. The JBF Liquid Glass photography is stunningly minimalist, using a solid blue background to enhance intrigue and intimacy with the photos. The bare-bones approach to the photography is what directs the viewers eye to the [waves of the clear substance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lidris). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Liquid Glass Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in capturing stunning and unique images using liquid glass as a medium. - **Water Serpent Aesthetics:** Opportunity to create visually captivating art by capturing the fluid and dynamic movements of liquids against glass surfaces. - **Minimalist Splash Effects:** Opportunity to explore the minimalist approach in showcasing the beauty of fluid dynamics and water splashes in photography. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to experiment with liquid glass as a unique element in their work. - **Art:** Opportunity for artists to create captivating and visually engaging pieces by incorporating the aesthetics of water serpents in their artwork. - **Design:** Opportunity for designers to explore minimalistic splash effects in various applications like product packaging, advertising campaigns, and brand visuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glass Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cassina-2.md) - [Mesmerizing Fluid Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flow-fountain.md) - [Wabi-Sabi-Informed Green Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-glassware.md) - [Artfully Liquid-Like Light Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cairn-lamp.md) - [Light-Refracting Glass Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/look-mum-no-uv.md) - [Creative Constellation Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evian-x-coperni.md) - [Minimalist Gradient Glass Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-desk.md) - [Fluid Function Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow.md) - [Sculptural Whisky Decanters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistry-in-oak.md)
