In fact, it also highlights just how brave and resilient these [little critters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-hornet-ring) are. When thwarted on all sides by high winds and torrential rains, they persist and survive. Shot by Armenia-based photographer Suren Manvelyan, the Weather Survivors photo series once again demonstrates his talent for capturing the unexpected in an epic and poetic way. Through his [high-res techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-minute-photos), he not only captures the emotions of the moment, he also manages to create a connection between the viewer and the snails through the strife they are going through. The [composition is quite beautiful](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness) as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Macro Photography:** Insects and small animals are being captured in high resolution and unique compositions to showcase their resilience and showcase their beauty. - **Nature Photography:** Photographers are capturing stunning and unexpected moments in nature to create connections between viewers and the natural world. - **Empathy-driven Marketing:** Businesses are using emotional storytelling to connect with consumers and create a deeper relationship with their brand. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** There is an opportunity for photographers to use their skills to capture and showcase real-life emotional moments in nature. - **Marketing:** Businesses can use empathy-driven marketing to create a deeper relationship with their customers by showcasing their values and connection to the natural world. - **Environmentalism:** The natural resilience and beauty of small creatures can serve as a powerful motivator for individuals and organizations to prioritize the protection and restoration of the natural world. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Insect-Inspired Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insect-bronze-sculptures.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Almost-Extinct Animal Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauna-series.md) - [Slow-Paced Survival Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slowpaced-survival.md) - [Photographer-Honoring Stamp Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ansel-adams.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Durable Filmmaker Camera Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sirui-night-walker-s35-cine-lens-series.md) - [Expertly Crafted Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-green-umbrella.md)
