As Heeks completes his PhD he occupies himself with his [bubble art project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boba-you-x-me). The concept of the art is simple; Heeks captures shots of bubbles inside bubbles. The first series was called 'Reflection Perfect' and the follow-up is 'Reflection Perfection.' Heeks does not use electronic devices to time the popping of the bubbles and instead relies on an organic process. The result is a series of [stunning and mind-blowing captures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1). Highlights include the overt metallic circular photographs, the self-portraits and the beauteous nature shots. The bubbles possess beautiful scenes, but the background and ambiance of each shot is equally important. The Richards Heeks photography is riveting, natural and ready to pop. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 79% | 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) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Bubble Photography:** The trend of capturing serene moments in soap bubbles is disrupting the photography industry with a unique way of capturing moments. - **Organic Process:** The trend of relying on organic processes instead of electronic devices to pop bubbles is disrupting the technology industry with a focus on natural alternatives. - **Reflection Perfection:** The trend of exploring the reflection of bubbles within bubbles is disrupting the art industry with a new form of expression. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** The photography industry has an opportunity to embrace bubble photography as a new and unique way to capture special moments. - **Technology:** The technology industry has an opportunity to explore and develop more organic alternatives to electronic devices in order to create products that are more natural and serene. - **Art:** The art industry has an opportunity to embrace the reflection of bubbles within bubbles as a new and fascinating form of expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dreamlike Bubble-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airshape-lamp.md) - [Computer Generated Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baffling-bubbles.md) - [Artful Garden Inflatable Spheres](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-is-air.md) - [Fluid Basketball-Net Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swimming-pools-and-bubblegum.md) - [Spiky Inflatable Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-sculptures1.md) - [Spatial Bubble Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubbles-everywhere.md) - [Playful Balloon Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keff-joons.md) - [Bubble-Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubbles-lighting-design.md) - [Bubble-Inspired Bulbous Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-stool.md)
