# Tree People Photography Marco Prelic Creates Humans From Trees in His Project 'Tree People' By Anne Booth | Published 2013-09-21 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tree-people References: [visualnews](http://www.visualnews.com/2013/09/19/make-like-tree-leaf-tree-people-marko-prelic/) & [mprelic](http://www.mprelic.com/) Benjamin Starr discovers photographs photoshopped by Marko Prelic where he creates the 'Tree People' in black and white. The tree replaces the head of each person and their clothing and body remain intact creating hilarious portraits. The photos are mainly taken within [vast, country landscapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farming-photographs) with the 'Tree People' standing tall in the open fields. The photos are in black and white to create a more realistic effect, where the [trees seem to be live creatures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highwood-installation) walking the earth. In many of the images the people stand straight and tall like a tree to make it seem as if the plant is simply an ordinary part of the setting. In the 'Tree People' photo shoot it is interesting how all of the trees and the people used are different. Some trees have many leaves, while others have none. This shows that each "character" is an individual and a part of his/her own world. Marko Prelic creates [quirky photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1) that we grow to love more and more after looking at them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Photoshop Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new ways to digitally manipulate images to create unique and captivating artworks. - **Nature Integration in Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Find innovative ways to incorporate elements of nature into photography, creating visually striking and thought-provoking images. - **Humorous Portraits:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new approaches to portrait photography that inject humor and playfulness, capturing the attention and emotions of viewers. ### Where This Applies - **Digital Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Pioneer the use of digital tools and techniques to push the boundaries of artistic expression and create captivating digital artworks. - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore unconventional photography techniques and styles to create distinctive and memorable images that stand out in a crowded market. - **Art and Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Merge art and entertainment by creating visually engaging and humorous artworks that capture the interest of a wide audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tree-Integrated Mysterious Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tree-mural.md) - [Pixelated Photographed Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/southern-trees.md) - [Outdoor Floral Sculpture Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptures-at-kew-gardens.md) - [Wooden Identity Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hughmanity.md) - [Resin Gravity Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-great-tree.md) - [Felled Tree Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ptacek-home-chunk-line.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Cartoonish Tubular Treehouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tubular-treehouse.md) - [Air-Purifying Tree Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treeone.md)
