# Inspiring LGBT Nature Portraits Photography by Lorenzo Triburgo is an Unforgettable Tribute By Sarah St.Jules | Published 2013-07-31 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lorenzo-triburgo References: [flavorwire](http://flavorwire.com/406173/renaissance-style-portraits-of-transgender-men) & [triburgo](http://triburgo.com/) While in the midst of his own transformation, Lorenzo Triburgo wanted to take [emotional portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-portraits) of fellow [trans men](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-by-vanity) that depict their strength. In a series entitled 'Transportraits,' Triburgo painted a nature-inspired backdrop that he learned from the famous Bob Ross. Triburgo wanted to create a parallel between [constructs of both nature and gender](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take), and demonstrate that both are fluid. The portraits feature a dignified trans man, holding his head up high. There is an obvious connection between the subject and the photo, and this allows viewers to feel as though they are privy to this moment of sharing. Lorenzo Triburgo has been able to evoke an incredible response out of his pictures, and has also been able to leave a lasting memory on all those who view his work. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Emotional Portraits:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop new techniques and technologies to capture and convey emotions in portraits. - **Nature-inspired Backdrops:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create innovative ways to incorporate nature elements into backdrops for photography and other visual arts. - **Fluid Nature of Gender:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Explore new concepts and products that challenge traditional notions of gender and promote inclusivity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Integrate emerging technologies in photography equipment and software to enhance the art form. - **Visual Arts:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop new mediums and techniques that push the boundaries of traditional visual arts. - **Gender and Identity:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create inclusive and diverse products and services that cater to the needs of the LGBTQ+ community and promote understanding. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Queer Storytelling Sculptural Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/something-sticky-series.md) - [Fitness Club Pride Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benefit-auction.md) - [Color Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Travel-Inspired Canvas Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-passport-series.md) - [Human Nature-Themed Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-im-awake.md) - [Pride-Celebrating Skincare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-pride-campaign.md) - [Human Duality-Themed Abstract Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passive-aggression.md) - [Wooden Identity Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hughmanity.md)
