Each one of the shots was painstakingly taken by the photographer in over 50 countries around the world using a timer. Setting up the shot just as he liked, Galimberti would then hop, skip, jump and head skyward to capture moments that seem all too darling to be true. Some of the shots even feature [optical illusions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam) that make him look like a giant, which are naturally my favorite. One can imagine that taking the shots on a timer could prove quite difficult and it most certainly was; Galimberti did a staggering 98 takes in Iceland to capture just the shot he wanted. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Travel Photography:** Explore the trend of travel photography with unique and captivating shots taken internationally. - **Optical Illusions:** Discover the trend of incorporating optical illusions in photography for a whimsical and surreal effect. - **Timed Shots:** Learn about the trend of using timers in photography to capture precise moments and compositions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** The photography industry can leverage travel photography trends to offer unique experiences and products for customers. - **Art:** The art industry can explore the use of optical illusions in photography to create visually captivating and thought-provoking artworks. - **Technology:** The technology industry can develop innovative timer mechanisms and applications for photographers to enhance their creative process. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI Travel Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epic-ai-travel-photos.md) - [Multi-Lens Capture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-walker-multi-cam.md) - [Functional Gingerbread Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-camera.md) - [Durable Travel Photography Tripods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heipi-travel-tripod.md) - [Travel-Ready Instant Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lomography-instant-automat-camera.md) - [Pet-Taken Camera Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartography.md) - [Lens-Integrated Travel Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-camera.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Photographer-Collab Card Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artiste-series.md)
