# Icy Cityscape Photography Ronnie Yip's Skyscraper Shots Stunningly Capture a Cold Toronto Winter By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-01-08 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toronto-winter References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/ronnie-yip-toronto-rooftopping-photography) & [ronnieyip.tumblr](http://ronnieyip.tumblr.com) In these breathtaking pictures, Ronnie Yip captured the icy Toronto winter. The photographer noted, "Everything was frozen" on his tumblr page in a caption accompanying this series. The stunning shots show off the surrounding cityscape and statuesque skyscrapers. The adventurous artist had to climb a high rise construction site in order to take photos of the frozen Canadian city. This would be a particularly dangerous task in the particularly frigid Toronto winter weather, with temperatures -20 degrees Celsius the day he took them. The captures not only feature the frozen area, but also have a serene yet multihued element. The towering views alone are enough to take one's breath away, not to mention the below freezing environment outside. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Icy Cityscape Photography:** The trend of capturing beautiful cityscape photos in frigid environments is on the rise - **Extreme Photography:** Adventurous artists are pushing the limits of their creativity by undertaking dangerous photo shoots in extreme environments - **Multihued Winter Photography:** Photographers are experimenting with colors and hues in order to create new and exciting winter scenes ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** Opportunities exist for photography enthusiasts to provide unique and specialty winter photography services over and above conventional indoor shoots for clients - **Tourism:** Tourism companies could leverage the trend by planning winter vacations that focus on winter outdoor activities such as ski and snowboarding and also facilitate ice scape photography for tourists - **Extreme Sporting Equipment:** Manufacturers can build specialized equipment such as rugged cameras, protective gear for photographers and drones designed for extreme weather conditions to cater to niche extreme sports enthusiasts and photographers ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Outdoor Terrace Skating Rinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torontos-bisha-hotel.md) - [Winter Light Art Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nordic-lights.md) - [Outdoor Light-Up Globes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moongarden.md) - [Winter-Themed Hotel Offerings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mt-harriets.md) - [Toronto-Based Winter Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-white-garden.md) - [Snow-Accented Beer Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stella-artois-ads.md) - [Artful Wintry Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glasshouse-fragrances-northern-peaks.md) - [Elaborate Winter Activities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-city-of-harbin.md) - [Water-Inspired Sales Building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cifi-group.md)
