# Mathematic Nature Photography Nikki Graziano Explains the Logic of Our Environment Through Art By Rachel | Published 2009-08-28 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikki-graziano-found-functions References: [designerchoice.au](http://www.designerchoice.com.au/cgblog/11/15/Maths-Photography) & [nikkigraziano](http://www.nikkigraziano.com/index.html) Nikki Graziano is a [photographer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) but also a mathematician. Perhaps an odd combo, Nikki uses both her left and right brain to create ‘Found Functions,’ a line of photographs that both shows the [nature around us](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supernatural) and the mathematics of it. The ‘Found Functions’ collection by Nikki Graziano is a great combination of her two passions, though I frankly don’t understand what any of the [equations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alba-light) are telling me. Regardless, it’s a great idea and a nice collection. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Artistic Infusion of Math:** There is an opportunity for the development of other art forms that incorporate mathematical concepts to create a unique experience. - **Science-inspired Photography:** Incorporating scientific concepts in photography can offer new ways of interpreting and experiencing the world. - **Interdisciplinary Creativity:** Encouraging the integration of multiple disciplines can lead to innovative products or artistic expressions. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can benefit from exploring how to integrate mathematical or scientific concepts in their creations. - **Photography:** Photographers can expand their artistic capabilities by incorporating mathematics and other sciences in their work. - **Education:** Integrating multiple disciplines in educational settings can help students develop interdisciplinary thinking and creative problem-solving skills. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Human Nature-Themed Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-im-awake.md) - [Blooming Clustered Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany.md) - [Dynamic Mathematically Shaped Surfaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mathematically-shaped.md) - [Biology-Inspired Porcelain Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Geometric Wooden Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aleph-geddis.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Photographer-Collab Card Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artiste-series.md)
