While many photos use imagery to capture other senses such as taste, touch and even sound, 'Then Quietly They Came' is a series that convincingly taps into a sixth sense in its subjects. The photos move through the motions of a presence that exists in the shot despite its physical absence, created both through [lighting and staging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychoacoustic-light-ensemble) of his unusual subjects. Whether in an abandoned farm, on a [dark city street](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) or an eerie living space, the photos capture scenes straight out of a horror film that incite raw fear in their viewers. This incredible shoot will surely send shivers down your spine. **Implications** - The most appealing photography tells a story that is filmlike in nature while still subjective enough to stretch the boundaries of its viewers' imagination. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Storytelling Photography:** Exploring photography techniques that capture captivating narratives and stretch the viewers' imagination. - **Sensory Photography:** Utilizing imagery to capture other senses such as taste, touch, and sound in photographs. - **Eerie Aesthetic:** Creating photography that elicits raw fear and taps into the viewers' sixth sense. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Film and Entertainment:** Incorporating film-like storytelling techniques in photography to enhance visual narratives and evoke emotional responses. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Using sensory photography techniques to create powerful and immersive visual campaigns that engage consumers on multiple levels. - **Horror and Thriller Entertainment:** Employing an eerie aesthetic in photography to create suspenseful and spine-chilling visuals for horror movies, TV shows, and novels. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Optical Illusion Invisibility Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisibility-shield.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Illuminated Curtained Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Glass-Reflective Illuminated Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-house.md) - [Ethereal Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peter-kovacsy.md)
