# Photo Collage Photography Vik Muniz Creates Stunning Images Out of Vintage Photos By Meghan Young | Published 2014-11-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photo-collage-photography References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/vik-muniz-photography-photography/) & [vikmuniz.net](http://vikmuniz.net/gallery) The photo collage photography of Vik Muniz is something full of depth and complexity. Each image is made up of a ton of vintage photos that have been meticulously arranged in order to portray a larger image. The resulting artworks are then photographed, yet the original pieces are huge. One of the artworks is over eight feet tall. What makes these images even more special is that they are arranged not only by color, but by subject matter as well. For instance, one of the photo collage photography pieces depicts a portrait of a baby. That baby is made up of images of babies. Interestingly, Muniz also uses the back of the old photographs when necessary. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 78% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Vintage Photo Collage:** There is an opportunity for the development of a new market for vintage photos, and the exploration of the concept of nostalgia as a key trend in art and media. - **Subject Arrangement:** There is an opportunity to create a new method and technology for arranging and categorizing data and images in an artistic manner. - **Gigantic Artworks:** There is an opportunity to redefine and explore new ways of creating and presenting large scale art installations and pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** The art industry can further explore the use of vintage materials and new technologies in creating unique visual experiences. - **Photography:** The photography industry can see an opportunity to explore and expand the use of vintage or found materials in creating unique images. - **Data Management:** Data management products and services can create new applications for categorizing and arranging data in an artistic and visually appealing manner. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collage-Creating Mobile Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shuffles.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Timeless Photo Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photos-by-artkive.md) - [Rapid Photo Visualizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-minute-photos.md) - [Colossal AI Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-artwork.md) - [Color Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Vintage Photo Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrova.md) - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md)
