# Deserted City Snapshots Maria Luz Bravo Capture an Abandoned Metropolitan By Francis Tiangson | Published 2011-02-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maria-luz-bravo References: [photodonuts](http://www.photodonuts.com/maria-luz-bravo) & [marialuzbravo](http://www.marialuzbravo.com/) The images of Maria Luz Bravo invite a sense of inquiry as to why there is no one to be seen in any of the photographs. The images show [streets, parks and buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) all without a single human in sight. What really piqued my interest about Maria Luz Bravo's pictures is that they could very easily be a set for a [zombie or post-apocalyptic flick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-town1). From looking at the images, my mind began creating a story explaining why this town was empty. If I stumbled across a [deserted scene](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spooky-adventures) like these, my first instinct would be to keep driving before I find myself reliving the movie The Hills Have Eyes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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 - **Abandoned City Photography:** Opportunity to tap into a growing market of abandoned city photography for creative professionals and businesses in the film and media industry. - **Post-apocalyptic Imagery:** Opportunity to explore the rise of post-apocalyptic imagery in popular culture and its potential for business applications in advertising, entertainment, and tourism. - **Mystery-themed Content Creation:** Opportunity to create mystery-themed content in various forms, including video games, podcasts, and interactive media, based on the seemingly deserted city landscape captured in Maria Luz Bravo's photos. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Film and Media Production:** Opportunity to use Maria Luz Bravo's abandoned city photos as a set for post-apocalyptic, dystopian, or horror films and TV shows. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Opportunity to leverage the popularity of post-apocalyptic and deserted city imagery in marketing campaigns and brand imaging. - **Tourism and Exploration:** Opportunity to create niche tourism experiences for adventure and mystery seekers based on the abandoned city landscapes depicted in Maria Luz Bravo's work. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Dramatic Doomsday Bunker Images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alastair-philip-wiper.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Forgotten Theme-Park Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forgotten-fantasy.md) - [Suburban-Inspired Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suburbaninspired-art-exhibition.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [AI Post-Apocalyptic Cities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-universe.md)
