# Monochromatic Solitary Photography This Series by Rupert Vandervell is a Vision of Loneliness By Sarah St.Jules | Published 2013-07-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rupert-vandervell References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Man-On-Earth/9777735) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/rupertv/) There are unfortunately many people who go through their daily lives feeling as though they are alone, and this [photography collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-last-resort-exhibition) by Rupert Vandervell represents the feeling of being by yourself. Entitled 'Man on Earth,' this series of pictures displays one solitary person in each shot. It evokes the feeling of being the last person on earth, or that even with the streets crowded, you still feel like you are by yourself. By only using [black and white photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25), the lack of colors eliminates any positivity. This series is depicted as being a metropolis, and it perfectly displays the vibe some get from getting lost in the fast-paced environment of a city. This collection by Rupert Vandervell is a stunning portrayal of the feeling of being alone. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Monochromatic Photography:** Exploring the use of black and white photography in capturing emotions and evoking specific feelings, such as that of loneliness. - **Solitary Subjects in Art:** Incorporating the use of solitary figures or subjects in various forms of art to convey feelings of isolation and emotional struggles. - **Minimalist Style in Photography:** Expanding the use of simplicity and minimalism in photography as a way to highlight emotions and capture the essence of a scene. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Photography:** Incorporating the use of different techniques and styles in various forms of art to convey specific moods and emotions, such as loneliness and isolation. - **Mental Health Industry:** Utilizing art and photography as a way to evoke emotional responses and to help individuals explore their feelings of loneliness or isolation. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Exploring the use of photography to create targeted campaigns that appeal to emotions and convey specific messages related to loneliness and the human experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Color Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color.md) - [Otherwordly Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-monk.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Mental Health-Supporting Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-last-photo.md)
