New York has always been regarded as a magical place. As a city that never sleeps and has its own conception of time (hence the phrase "a New York minute"), it's enveloped in a special, untouchable aura. When one visits, they can't help but get sucked into the vortex. Bohbot, who is admittedly "obsessed" with [cinematic iconography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-54), turns the city into a visual masterpiece by playing with [color and light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lektrik-festival-of-lights), creating what he refers to as an "enigmatic atmosphere with a documentary-style approach." Under Bohbot's expert manipulations, the city sizzles and smolders (at least, more than it usually does). Each image is immediately captivating, in the impulsive hop-on-a-plane kind of way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 38% | 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Cinematic Photography:** There is an opportunity to incorporate cinematic-style photography into traditional photography to create a new visual language. - **City Living:** Exploring the connection between city inhabitants and their environment through photography can lead to innovative discoveries about urban living. - **Color and Light Manipulation:** Experimenting with different color and light manipulation techniques can lead to unique and striking photographs in various fields such as advertising, fashion, and architecture. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** The field of photography has an opportunity to incorporate cinematic-style techniques to create new and captivating imagery for clients. - **Advertising:** Color and light manipulation techniques can be utilized in the advertising industry to create visually compelling ads that stand out from the competition. - **Tourism:** Images captured through cinematic photography techniques can be used to promote tourism in cities and offer a unique perspective to and differentiate from other destinations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Miniature Artful Hip-Hop Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danny-cortes.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Laser-Cut Urban Artistry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-cut-city-maps.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Immersive Light Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spencer-finch.md) - [Thematic Outdoor Lights Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tim-burton-light-trail.md) - [Revived Modular Photo Booths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frames-booth.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md)
