# Surreal Nature Photography Photographer Alicja Bloch Creates Surreal Shots with Nature Settings By Lacey-Jane Walsh | Published 2013-12-05 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-nature-photography References: [123inspiration](http://www.123inspiration.com/surreal-photography-by-alicja-bloch/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/alicja.bloch.photography) Photographer Alicja Bloch is behind this [surreal nature photography series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1), which takes viewers on an uncanny journey through the outdoors. These shots feature drastically different backgrounds, from forest shots to murky valleys and waterfront locations. While each shot is different, they all have magical elements that make them intriguing. In one of these shots viewers see a woman standing in the forest with her back turned to the camera. She's holding up a mirror and looking into it, but her reflection appears in another mirror off to her side. Another of these shots features a man buried up to his neck in sand, but there are hands shooting up from the ground all around him, as if the beach he's on was covered in quicksand. These surreal shots make nature look more magical and captivating than ever. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Magical Nature Photography:** There is a growing trend for photography that uses natural settings to create surreal and magical images. - **Uncanny Outdoor Adventures:** The trend for uncanny outdoor photography offers opportunities for adventure and tourism companies to create unique and immersive experiences. - **Mixed Reality Nature Shots:** Advancement in mixed reality technologies can create never-seen-before surreal shots of nature that blur the lines between reality and imagination. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Surreal nature photography presents opportunities for photographers to explore new techniques and create mesmerizing images. - **Tourism:** The uncanny adventure trend has the potential to attract tourists who are looking for unique and unconventional outdoor experiences. - **Technology:** The mixed reality nature shots trend can create opportunities for technology companies to use emerging technologies such as AR and VR in creative ways to offer innovative solutions for businesses and consumers alike. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Nature-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humannature-1.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Chalk Streams Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-conceptual-landscape-photographer.md) - [Human Nature-Themed Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-im-awake.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Nature-Inspired Lifestyle Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supernatural.md)
