The [reflective mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirroring-dialogue) create shifts and breaks in the undisturbed desert, resulting in a truly eye-catching set of images. The floating panels defy the logics of gravity as they hover above the rough, barren wilderness. A majestic bald eagle soars graceful through the scene, taking a moment to reflect and ponder at its reflection. Awe-inspiring and sublime, the Neil Krug '[Mirrors' series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical) highlights the resilient American outback in a futuristic perspective. American artist Neil Krug has photographed and directed a number of campaigns for bands such as My Chemical Romance and the Scissor Sisters. His vintage, colorized style is seen throughout his work, adding a nostalgic, retro personality to his breathtaking images. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Levitating Photography:** Businesses can explore the opportunity to create different perspectives through the use of unorthodox photography techniques. - **Mirrored Reflections:** There is potential for businesses to incorporate the use of reflective surfaces to add dimension and intrigue to their products or services. - **Surreal Landscapes:** Innovative businesses can embrace surrealism in their designs or marketing campaigns to offer a unique and unexpected experience to their customers. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Photography businesses can adapt levitation and reflection techniques to offer their clients a fresh and artistic approach to their photoshoots. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating levitation and reflective surfaces in interior design and decoration can create an illusion of spaciousness and add a sense of awe to the space. - **Tourism:** Tourism businesses can leverage surreal landscapes to promote their destinations as extraordinary and must-visit locations for adventure seekers and nature lovers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reflective Water-Themed Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lakes-collection.md) - [Travel-Themed Fractured Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baggage-claim-mirrors.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Reflective Minimal Glamping Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alphaline.md) - [Emotional Light Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miror-collection.md) - [Dynamic Structural Mirror Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bton-brut.md) - [One-of-a-Kind Ceramic Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-mirror.md) - [Artful Hanging Contemporary Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ready-to-hang.md)
