The images, which feature three different young females, have been shot using long exposures; so that light and often other elements seem to be coming through the translucent figures heads. With the [light filled exposures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible) and images of flowers, trees and other naturalistic images, these hazy captures really make me want to embrace summer. The photographer posted the images on her website along with a tutorial for any budding photographers keen to learn new techniques for abstract photography. These striking images would make an amazing print to hang on your wall at home. Sara K Byrne runs a photography business with her husband Dylan in Portland. The couple are available to book for your wedding or engagement photo's through their website. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Abstract Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunities exist in developing new techniques and technologies to create abstract photography. - **Long Exposure Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in creating tools and equipment that allow for more creative and accessible long exposure photography. - **Naturalistic Photography:** Disruptive innovation can be found in developing new methods and tools for capturing naturalistic images with a hazy and dreamy aesthetic. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** The photography industry can explore new markets and opportunities by embracing and promoting abstract, long exposure, and naturalistic photography techniques. - **Print and Wall Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunities exist in creating innovative ways to showcase and sell abstract and naturalistic photography prints for home decor. - **Wedding and Engagement Photography:** There is potential for disruption in the wedding and engagement photography industry by offering unique and artistic long exposure and abstract photography services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Hand-Painted Watercolor Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-webster.md) - [Chalk Streams Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-conceptual-landscape-photographer.md) - [Travel Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-within-the-detour.md) - [Immersive Light Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spencer-finch.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) - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md)
