Andrew and Pete Are Back!
This was my 388th shoot since setting up my business 8 years ago.
It was my 8th session with Andrew & Pete! Putting them officially in the first place as my most loyal clients EVER!
A Hot New Brand Photography Trend
Before the grand reveal, I want to talk quickly about the exact style Andrew and Pete requested from me for their shoot this time around. What I’m loving about this type of request, in particular, is that it has given me a great excuse to start showing you beautifuls the subtle differences and refinement happening in the entrepreneur world.
Specifically in the brand-aware entrepreneurial space. With this area still very much on-trend, photographers like me are starting to see these beautiful snaps and spin-offs when it comes to aesthetics. I really want this to stick around because it gives me creative sparks.
Trend Origin tracing in Music
You can look at this through musicology. Think about spin-off genres in music:
- So we would never have had Grime Music if it hadn’t been for the UK Garage Music Scene.
- That wouldn’t have come about if it wasn’t for Jungle, RnB, and Dance-Pop.
- and on and on back to the beginnings of electronic music.
Trend Origin tracing in Fashion
You can look at this through fashion:
- We would never have gotten to Dolly Kei (a fun Japanese vintage china doll look).
- Without having seen the Lolita fashion trend which came from wider Japanese Street Style Culture.
- Which goes all the way back to the ’70s.
