# Rare Music Icon Photography Rock Paper Photo Curated an Online Gallery of Rare Miles Davis Photos By Megan Facciuolo | Published 2014-05-28 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miles-davis-photos References: [pursuitist](http://pursuitist.com/rock-paper-photos-unseen-photography-of-miles-davis-and-other-icons/) & [rockpaperphoto](http://www.rockpaperphoto.com/) This is undoubtedly the first time you have ever seen these particular Miles Davis photos thanks to the online gallery called Rock Paper Photo. The company, headed by Madonna's manager Guy Oseary, is the world’s largest community of rare photography and pop culture fine art. It specializes in distributing unpublished, limited edition prints of iconic personalities, so it was fitting that its latest collection features one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time. Rock Paper Photo collaborated with the [Miles Davis Estate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miles-pendant) to get a hold of the exclusive photography, which was part of the archives at [Sony's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/30th-anniversary-book) [Columbia Records](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/columbia-x-star-wars-skywalker-pilot-ski-collection). However, Rock Paper Photo added bold touches to the photos with the use of typography that was inspired by Davis' music, quotes, signature and album designs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Online Art Galleries:** The rise of online art galleries like Rock Paper Photo provide access to rare and exclusive photography, disrupting the traditional art market. - **Limited Edition Prints:** The popularity of limited edition prints allows collectors to own unique and valuable pieces of art, creating a new market for artists and photographers. - **Collaborations with Estates:** Collaborating with estates and archives of iconic personalities opens up opportunities to access exclusive content and create curated collections that appeal to enthusiasts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fine Art Photography:** The fine art photography industry can leverage the popularity of rare and exclusive prints to attract collectors and expand their clientele. - **Music Merchandise:** The music merchandise industry can explore collaborations with estates and archives to create limited edition prints and other collectibles featuring iconic musicians. - **E-commerce Platforms:** E-commerce platforms can benefit from the growing demand for unique and exclusive art by providing a marketplace for artists and collectors to connect and transact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Celebratory Photo Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-editions.md) - [Limited-Edition Nightclub Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-54.md) - [Collectible Historical Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrilljoy-pix.md) - [Legacy Artist-Themed T-Shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-1.md) - [Rockstar-Inspired Instant Film Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/for-the-rebel-rebels.md) - [Britpop Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-photography-exhibition.md) - [Iconic Band Apparel Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaks-store-2.md) - [Curated Pop Art Auctions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joopiter.md) - [Music-Inspired Glass Blown Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miles-pendant.md)
