Mark Miller has decided to flip the world on its head. Featuring [portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-portraits) of regular people that are [hanging upside down](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-getaway), the gallery 'Suspended Comfort' from Mark Miller captures people as if they were sleeping with bats.

Not sure of the motivation behind this photographic endeavor, but I am definitely loving the blood-rushed faces of all of his subjects. Check out more work from Mark Miller by following the links below.

**Implications** - As consumers continue to recover from the economic downturn, they're looking for products to divert their attentions away from their financial situations. As such, the popularity of [surrealistic photo shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery) is on the rise. Corporations can utilize surreal imagery in their advertising campaigns in order to attract consumer attention.
