I would love to know what triggered her [fantasy shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble) of [contrasting colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color). I mean, did Sandy Skoglund have a dream one night of dining with vibrantly red foxes or being attacked by [military toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keff-joons)? Whatever the case may be, I suggest you take a moment to appreciate this Rutgers University professor's impressive work in the gallery above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Fantasy Photography:** A trend in photography where artists create fantastical scenes using vibrant colors and contrasting elements. - **Contrasting Colors:** A trend in art and design where artists incorporate contrasting colors to create visually striking compositions. - **Inanimate Objects:** A trend in photography and visual arts where artists bring inanimate objects to life by showcasing them in unexpected and imaginative ways. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** The photography industry can capitalize on the trend of fantasy photography to offer unique and imaginative photo shoots to clients. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can leverage the trend of contrasting colors to create visually impactful works that stand out in the market. - **Visual Arts Education:** The visual arts education industry can explore the trend of inanimate objects to teach students how to bring ordinary objects to life through creative and unconventional methods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Whimsically Vibrant Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorama.md) - [Eye-Catching Textile Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peter-saville-1.md) - [Colorful Texture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation.md) - [Funky Colorful Storage Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-storage-units.md) - [Playful Modern Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brent-estabrook-debuts-storytime.md) - [Color Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color.md) - [Abstract Fantasy Home Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstract-fantasy-home.md) - [Mesmerizing Sculpture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesmerizing-sculpture.md)
