What made these captures that much sweeter was discovering that the talented photographer behind this series is a mere 16 years old -- talk about up-and-coming talent! Phillip Schumacher's An Extraordinary Mind explores [dreamlike worlds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-dreaming-collection) and seems to take viewers on a journey into the intense imagination of this young man. This [photographic collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) can be added to Schumacher's claim to fame, alongside his wildly popular 'Cosmic Love' captures. **Implications** - Talent is something that is discovered by many at a young age, making the introduction of internship opportunities are invaluable to modern companies.
