# Fierce Rooftop Photography Photographer Luc Braquet Captures Big City Cool in New York By Jordan Sowunmi | Published 2011-08-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photographer-luc-braquet References: [bentrovatoblog](http://bentrovatoblog.com/photography/broadway-luc-braquet/) & [lucbraquet](http://www.lucbraquet.com/) Paris-based photographer Luc Braquet was an Art Director in an advertising agency when his love of fashion photography began to take hold of him. Now after a few years in the game, he has developed a unique aesthetic that has made helped his career take off, with regular trips to London and New York dotting his calendar. As a photographer, Luc Braquet has a skill for portraying his subjects as alternatively mysterious, alluring, and untouchable. In his latest shoot, '[Over Broadway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyn-loft),' Braquet teamed with Jennifer of VNY Model Management for an editorial that is intensely sexual, and intensely organic. My favorite shot in this Luc Braquet editorial is a black and white capture of Jennifer [climbing up the ladder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladder-series), staring down in a manner that is equal parts aloof and seductive. She is wearing a see-through shirt and her midriff is exposed. As a photographer, Luc Braquet excels at being able to draw sensuality out of a shot that typically wouldn't have it, and that bodes well for his future in fashion photography. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Fashion Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new techniques to enhance sensuality and mystique in fashion photography. - **Art Direction:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative ways to guide and enhance the visual aesthetics in advertising campaigns. - **Editorial Shoots:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with unconventional styles and themes to create captivating visual narratives in editorial photography. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate advanced technologies like AR and VR into the fashion industry to enhance online shopping experiences. - **Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Find new ways to blend graphic design and photography to create visually stunning and engaging advertisements. - **Publishing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore innovative storytelling techniques by combining photography and narrative design to create immersive editorial experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gallery-Like Elevated Retail Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-store-gallery.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Eccentrically Designed Historic Penthomes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crina-arghirescu-rogard.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [High Wire City Stunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philippe-petit.md) - [Photographer-Focused Jacket Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reporter-jacket.md) - [City-Themed Luxury Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-the-city.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Laser-Cut Urban Artistry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-cut-city-maps.md)
