# Surreal Self Portraits The Ruadh DeLone Egotrips Series is Imaginative and Slightly Sinister By Meghan Young | Published 2011-04-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruadh-delone-egotrips References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Egotrips-A-box-of-selfportraits/1252727) & [delonefotografie.nl](http://www.delonefotografie.nl) The Ruadh DeLone Egotrips photo series shows yet again this Netherlands artist's knack for self portraits as well as post production. Surreal, quirky and all kinds of creative, this collection of work is perhaps his best to date. From steampunked, mechanical references to impersonations and paint-like portraits, the Ruadh DeLone Egotrips photo series encompasses a lot of themes, techniques and concepts. Of course, throughout the series, he maintains a rather morbid outlook just as his past work has always done (like his [Hospital Room](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruadh-delone-hospital-room) photo series as well as the [plastic wrap](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verganglichkeiten-by-ruadh-delone) portfolio). Nevertheless, the Ruadh DeLone Egotrips photo series is still full of fun personality and characters. This imaginative portfolio is entertaining from beginning to end. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Surreal Self Portraits:** Explore the growing trend of surreal self portraits in art, creating opportunities for innovative techniques and concepts. - **Quirky and Creative:** Discover the rise of quirky and creative photography, providing new avenues for artistic expression and experimentation. - **Post Production Innovation:** Embrace the trend of post production innovation in photography, opening doors for advanced editing techniques and manipulation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Photography:** The art and photography industry can utilize surreal self portraits to push boundaries and redefine traditional artistic norms. - **Fashion and Advertising:** Fashion and advertising industries can incorporate quirky and creative photography to create captivating campaigns and attract attention. - **Film and Media:** The film and media industry can harness post production innovation in photography to enhance visual effects and create immersive storytelling experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [AI-Generated Retrofuturistic Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturistic-objects.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Otherwordly Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-monk.md) - [Human Duality-Themed Abstract Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passive-aggression.md) - [Surreal Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [AI-Powered Portrait Studio Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraius.md)
