# Underwater Human Life Photography The Staudinger & Franke 'Life Below the Surface' Series is Deep By Jennifer Gosnell | Published 2012-05-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/staudinger-frankes-life-below-the-surface References: [thecreativefinder](http://thecreativefinder.com/portfolio-full.php?username=staudingerfranke&gallery_id=6779) & [staudinger-franke.at](http://www.staudinger-franke.at/vandenberg/view/galery.php) The captivating Staudinger & Franke 'Life Below the Surface' series is a thrilling look at [mystical underwater life](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ariel-swipe). Presenting surprisingly similar to typical life, these captures are fascinatingly murky, fish-filled and beautiful. Looking like they were taken from the sunken Titanic, the life-like photos are hauntingly gloomy. With fisherman fishing from below and women hanging their laundry to dry in the water, they are both confusing and fascinating. These pictures depict the imagination of the artists; that ballet and the gym are still a vital part of an entirely removed society is a new perspective. Often [deep-sea photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nereid-marine-habitat) would feature traditional creatures -- fictional or otherwise -- like mermaids and whales, so regular humans going about their regular business is a new take. The [schools of fish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-tropical-aquarium) add another dimension to every photo, emphasizing their deep-sea qualities. The Staudinger & Franke 'Life Below the Surface' exhibition is captivating and watery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## 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 - **Underwater Photography:** Opportunity for underwater camera manufacturers to develop high quality cameras for capturing life-like underwater photography. - **Realistic Depictions of Underwater Life:** Opportunity for artists to create new perspectives on underwater life by producing realistic depictions of the deep sea environment. - **Exploring Regular Human Life in Deep Sea Environment:** Opportunity for researchers to explore the impact of deep sea environment on regular human activities and behaviors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to specialize in underwater photography and expand their services. - **Art:** Opportunity for artists to experiment with different mediums and techniques to create captivating underwater art. - **Marine Biology:** Opportunity for marine biologists to study the impact of deep sea environment on marine life and its behaviours. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [4K-Enabled Underwater Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4kenabled-underwater-drone.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Sea-Inspired Mini Sculpture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-sculptures.md) - [Rustic Ruin-Inspired Aquariums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-sea-of-cortez-research-center.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Human Nature-Themed Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-im-awake.md) - [Interactive Marine Ecosystem Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-ecosystem-sculptures.md) - [Computational Undersea-Inspired Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coral-soaps-collection.md) - [Fluid Function Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow.md)
