Sakuramadelica is an ongoing [photography project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-dreaming-collection) by Sugam who aims to reveal soul through his work. These woozy luminous photographs are mostly of Sakuras, [beautiful Japanese cherry blossoms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doutor-sakura-fair), that fill the image with a feel of bliss. The images are saturated shots of spring settings where the line between clarity and coloration is blurred. Since Sakura trees bloom only once a year, their incorporation into art is an age-old practice. Sakuras have been used in many art forms, but Suga twists it to make his photographs stand out. Suga plays with in-camera color effects and exposure to create a drastic haze effect that makes viewers feel like they're in a psychedelic haze. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Saturated Spring Photography:** Explore the trend of capturing spring settings with vivid colors and blurred lines to create a dreamlike atmosphere. - **In-camera Color Effects:** Discover the trend of using in-camera color effects to manipulate images and create unique visual experiences. - **Psychedelic Art Photography:** Explore the trend of incorporating psychedelic elements into photography to create a surreal and immersive experience. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** The photography industry can explore new techniques and effects, such as in-camera color manipulation, to offer customers unique and captivating visual experiences. - **Art:** Artists can incorporate the trend of psychedelic elements in photography to create visually striking and immersive artworks that capture the essence of life and evoke different emotions. - **Travel and Tourism:** The travel and tourism industry can utilize saturated spring photography to showcase destinations during the cherry blossom season, attracting visitors with dreamlike and captivating imagery. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Sakura-Inspired Mother's Day Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sakurainspired.md) - [Virtual Sakura Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teamlab-forest.md) - [Sakura-Inspired Snack Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-of-sakura.md) - [Sakura-Finished Japanese Whiskys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milestone-beverages.md) - [Kyoto-Inspired Solo Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ode-to-kyoto.md) - [Vibrant Artistic Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japonisme-1.md) - [Cherry Blossom-Themed Restaurant Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherry-blossom-festival.md) - [Travel Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-within-the-detour.md)
