# Cone Head Photography The Mindo Cikanavicius 'New work' is Dramatic and Quirky By Meghan Young | Published 2010-12-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindo-cikanavicius-new-work References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/New_work/767016) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/mindo_cikanavicius) There is something very dramatic and quirky about the Mindo Cikanavicius 'New work' portfolio. This particular photographer is interested only in the non-conventional, with spreads such as 'Lost in Daydreams' and 'Room 405' under his belt. Essentially, the Mindo Cikanavicius 'New work' series features an odd character placed in a rather epic backdrop. From bubble heads to cone heads, there is also a surreal element to each image. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Surreal Photography:** Capitalizing on the surreal element in photography to create visually stunning and thought-provoking imagery. - **Non-conventional Portfolios:** Exploring unconventional themes and characters in photography portfolios to stand out and capture attention. - **Character-backdrop Pairings:** Creating dramatic and quirky photography by pairing unique characters with epic and visually striking backdrops. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Innovating within the photography industry by pushing boundaries and experimenting with unconventional themes and characters. - **Art:** Exploring the possibilities of surreal and non-conventional photography to create captivating and visually intriguing artwork. - **Advertising:** Utilizing surreal photography and unconventional characters to create eye-catching and memorable advertising campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Professional AI Headshots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/headshotwork.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Groundbreaking Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindcraft-project.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Mesmerizing Sculpture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesmerizing-sculpture.md) - [Sculptural Conical Headphone Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reckcone.md)
