These images are from the Digart.pl portfolio of user HendrixJ of Krakow. Although the gallery is solely comprised of [store mannequins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavilions-of-wonder) rather than people, the composition used throughout this photo series gives each doll very human-like qualities. The outside world reflected in the [glass window](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/through-chrome-reflections) perfectly blends in with the world of a lifeless mannequin, making each one seem almost as if it is people-watching wistfully. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Amateur Photography:** Exploring the potential for amateur photographers to find unique perspectives and creative compositions, creating a disruption in the traditional photography industry. - **Visual Storytelling:** Utilizing the power of images to evoke emotions and create narratives, offering opportunities for innovative marketing and brand communication strategies. - **Anthropomorphism:** Applying human-like qualities to non-human objects, opening up possibilities for innovative design solutions and product development. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Exploring new avenues for amateur photographers to showcase their talent and find unique niches within the photography industry. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Harnessing the power of visual storytelling to create engaging ad campaigns and captivating brand narratives. - **Retail and Fashion:** Incorporating anthropomorphic design elements in mannequins and store displays to enhance customer engagement and create memorable shopping experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Upcycled Plastic Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafting-plastic.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Industrial Architecture-Themed Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrial-archaeology.md) - [Miniaturized Product Art Photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-muji.md) - [Consumer-Inspired Store Mannequins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/london-store-mannequins.md)
