# Epic Everyday Photography Todd Cole Photographs Normal Moments With a Subtle Twist By Meghan Young | Published 2011-03-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/todd-cole References: [whitezine](http://www.whitezine.com/en/photography/todd-cole.html) & [toddcolephoto](http://toddcolephoto.com/) I have deep respect for photographers who can capture everyday moments and turn them into epic experiences, and that's just what Todd Cole does. Of course, he achieves this in a believable and subtle way so that you can still appreciate the near-normality of it all. Based in Los Angeles, California, Todd Cole has photographed celebrities such as Britney Spears and Daft Punk. He has also worked on advertising campaigns for [Puma](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign), [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-originals-new-campaign), Tommy Hilfiger and [Volkswagen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noramis-date-petro-surf). Todd Cole has also dabbled in film; one of his creations was named top three fashion films of 2010 by online publication The Business of Fashion. Yet it is Todd Cole's eye for light and composition that I respect most -- it's evident in all of his work. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Everyday Epic Photography:** There is an opportunity for photographers to capture ordinary moments in a way that transforms them into extraordinary experiences. - **Believable Subtlety:** The ability to create subtle twists on everyday experiences can add a unique and intriguing element to photography. - **Light and Composition Mastery:** Photographers who excel in manipulating light and composition can elevate the impact of their work and create visually stunning images. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Photography:** Incorporating Todd Cole's technique of blending everyday moments with fashion can create a fresh and captivating approach to fashion photography. - **Advertising Photography:** Photographers can apply Todd Cole's style of capturing ordinary moments while subtly promoting brands to produce visually compelling ads. - **Film and Photography Collaboration:** Exploring Todd Cole's experience in both film and photography can lead to innovative collaborations that bring a unique perspective to storytelling through visuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Elevated Basics Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aaron-levine.md) - [AI Travel Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epic-ai-travel-photos.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Interactive Colorful Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-hockney-bigger-closer.md) - [Premium Debut Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/last-ditch-design.md) - [Miniaturized Product Art Photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-muji.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md)
