I love the cloud of smoke that follows the model in the first image--what drama! Lacey's photo set reminds me of a piece we published last week on the Holi Festival in India, which you can see below. **Implications** - Lighting and post production are two areas of focus that have dominated the [art of photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color) for years now; however, the modern-day photographer is beginning to recognize the [power of texture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation). British photographer Lacey demonstrates great use of texture, which ultimately enhances an audience's viewing experience by including other senses such as touch. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Texture Photography:** Capturing images that incorporate texture enhances the audience's viewing experience and evokes senses beyond sight. - **Powder Battle Art:** Creating epic battles with bright powders adds drama and excitement to photography projects. - **Sensory Photography:** Exploring photography techniques that engage multiple senses, such as touch, can create immersive visual experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Photographers can incorporate texture and powder battles to offer unique and captivating visual experiences for their clients. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can draw inspiration from Lacey's work to explore new ways of incorporating texture and sensory elements into their creations. - **Event Planning and Marketing:** By incorporating powder battles and sensory photography, event planners and marketers can create visually stunning and immersive experiences for their audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Festive Light Painting Techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-painting-1.md) - [Illuminated Curtained Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Interactive Colorful Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-hockney-bigger-closer.md) - [Mesmerizing Sculpture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesmerizing-sculpture.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md) - [Colorful Texture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation.md)
