# Digitally Modified Photography Aaron Goodman's Artistic Manipulations By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2008-12-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/provocative-photography-aaron-goodmans-two-faced-man-and-money-doctor References: [cyanatrendland](http://cyanatrendland.com/2008/11/30/aaron-goodman-photography/) Aaron Goodman is a New York-based photographer who does wondrous things with his craft and a little bit of PhotoShopping. Goodman's art is evocative, suggestive and very thought provoking. As examples of the thought-provoking nature of Goodman's work, consider the lead photo in the gallery which depicts a surgeon with his mouth covered in $3 bills instead of a surgical mask. The second image portrays a man with two faces. I don't think either of these depictions require a lot of explanation. Goodman has appeared in 55 national publications and has done work for such prestigious publications such as Time, [Forbes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world), [Smart Money](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-travel), and [Business Week](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metaverse-meal) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 46% | 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) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Digital Manipulation:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing advanced image editing software that allows for seamless and realistic digital modifications. - **Provocative Art:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating new platforms or spaces for showcasing and selling provocative and thought-provoking artworks. - **Visual Storytelling:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in combining photography and storytelling techniques to create immersive digital experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing AI-powered cameras or advanced editing tools tailored for photographers like Aaron Goodman. - **Art:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in leveraging digital platforms and technologies to redefine the concept of art and attract a global audience. - **Publishing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating innovative digital publication formats that showcase visually captivating and thought-provoking art and photography. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Human Duality-Themed Abstract Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passive-aggression.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Artistic AI Image Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donny-ai.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Generative AI-Powered Hand-Held Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-handheld-camera.md)
