Although the Romain Laurent 'Something Real' photo series claims to be "real," I think we can safely assume that it was brought about through the magic of impeccable [post production](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-dreaming-collection). A creative soul if I ever saw one, this French photographer is quickly becoming one of my top favorites.

Considering that many of us live our lives in a [little bubble](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-stool), the Romain Laurent 'Something Real' series is quite poetic. My favorite image however, is when [the bubble pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubbles-everywhere), releasing the featured man fully into the world.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Impeccable Post-production:** Opportunity to develop new software and technology that can further enhance images in a more realistic way.
- **Poetry in Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to create emotive images with deeper meanings and stories.
- **Bubble as Metaphor:** Opportunity for artists to explore the use of bubbles as symbols of containment, fragility, and liberation.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Photography:** Photographers can explore the use of post-production technology and poetic storytelling to create innovative works.
- **Software Development:** Companies can invest in developing new software that can better enhance images using machine learning and advanced algorithms.
- **Art:** Artists can explore the use of everyday objects and natural elements, such as bubbles, to create thought-provoking works that convey deeper meanings.
