# Vacant House Editorials Damon Loble Photographed Alina for a C-Heads Exclusive By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2015-02-11 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vacant-house References: [c-heads](http://www.c-heads.com/2015/02/10/alina-by-damon-loble-for-c-heads/) & [instagram](http://instagram.com/damonloble) Photographer Damon Loble shot his muse Alina in a [vacant house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-horns) for this exclusive C-Heads editorial. Loble explains, "In some states it’s common that people will move into dwellings which currently have no occupants and essentially establish a free though temporary residency [there]." Indeed, it often takes months before the owner of the home will take legal action to evict those illegal tenants. Loble and Alina took advantage of one of these currently uninhabited homes for the purpose of shooting their editorial. Loble admits that it was "strange," wandering through someone else's [abandoned home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-lightness), lending the editorial a clandestine air. The illicit act of trespassing imbues each photo with a secret thrill that our teenage selves can certainly relate to. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Abandoned House Photography:** Abandoned house photography is becoming an increasingly popular trend creating new opportunities for photographers to capture unique and edgy content. - **Vacant Property Trespassing:** The rise of vacant property trespassing is creating a new industry of professional photographers and urban explorers who can document the spaces and gain internet fame. - **Temporary Residency Trend:** The trend of temporary residency in vacant homes is creating new opportunities for squatters, while also posing legal and ethical questions for property owners. ### Where This Applies - **Real Estate:** Real estate companies can capitalize on the trend of temporary residency in vacant homes by offering security services to help landlords protect their property. - **Photography:** Photography studios can take advantage of the abandoned house photography trend by offering themed photoshoots for clients looking to capture unique and edgy content. - **Legal Services:** Legal services can capitalize on the rise of vacant property trespassing by offering advice on property rights and trespassing laws for those looking to gain access to or protect their property. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Abstract Fantasy Home Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstract-fantasy-home.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Social Experiment Virtual Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uncanny-spaces.md) - [Creative Work-Encouraging Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silver-lining-house.md) - [Home-Defining Artistic Flags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everything-is-temporary.md) - [Art Showroom Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alternative-to-traditional-galleries.md) - [Paired-Back Modernist Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modernist-interior.md) - [Artist Apartment Conversions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alan-prekop-studio.md) - [Contemplation-Honoring Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marina-baisel.md)
