It revolves around [solitary portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-portraits) that are steep in quiet. Yet the images are far from serene. Instead, there is an odd narrative behind each of them that will pique anyone's interest. Whether it involves a man being followed by a line of ghosts or a woman's body with the head of a deer, People by Loic Le Quere will tug on people's imaginations as it also makes them question the reality of the situations in front of them. Of course, there is also a serious tone stretching throughout the entire People photo series that is equally thought-provoking and slightly sad. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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:** Exploring unconventional and thought-provoking photography techniques that challenge traditional notions of reality. - **Solitary Portraiture:** Capturing personal and private moments in a way that highlights a subject's individuality and identity. - **Narrative Imagery:** Using visual storytelling to create a sense of intrigue and mystery through strange and surreal scenes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Pushing the boundaries of traditional photography practices to create innovative and engaging content. - **Art:** Exploring unconventional concepts and techniques to create thought-provoking and emotive art pieces. - **Advertising:** Using surreal and striking imagery to create memorable and attention-grabbing advertising campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Human Duality-Themed Abstract Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passive-aggression.md) - [Surrealist Beauty Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletpaper-magazine.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md)
