Trend Number 1: New Reportage Photo
The essence of the photographer’s profession is often concluded in the right place at the right time. And even if the photographer is likely to carefully plan all photo photographers, you should spend some time and do a little spontaneity to your wallet – with your smartphone.
Emotional photography recommendation, is mostly focused on what’s important right now.

Use your best mobile images for other purposes: Competitions, blog posts and social networks. Ultimately, we are all active participants in the events that affect us. Be the first to tell the story that will affect the souls of audiences around the world.
Trend Number 2: Perfect Strangers
Usually he carefully selects models, thinks about their images and even makeup. But every photographer happens when he meets the path of a person completely unknown to him, who would become an ideal model for photography. Do something unusual, suggest to strangers to see the captured photos, tell us about your profession, your business, and you will be pleasantly surprised by the possibilities of a new acquaintance and the new direction of work.
You’ve probably thought this trend is close to street photos – and the truth is, there’s definitely an interconnection between them. What do you think of street photos? Would you be able to work in the opposite direction, to make your models look natural and at ease, like unfamiliar people in the images of street photographers? Here for every photo artist there is food for thought.
Trend Number 3: Self-Expression Through Travel
There are two types of photographers: those who continue to work even on vacation (that is, to see the world through the prism of their creative self-expression), and those who, being away from home, decide to completely relax from the photos and hustle and bustle moments of work. And, of course, there are those who take a vacation an integral part of their work.
Even if you travel in the most ordinary vacation, in the most mundane place, in the most visited city, do not doubt – there are still many things unexplored! Increase your portfolio, light up images of unusual landscapes and interesting places in it – They will add a fresh look and element of surprise. They all travel differently, so show the world your idea of the perfect vacation. It is not necessary to turn vacations to work at all, we all know this is so inevitable. Enjoy the recreation and share with your other creative vision.
Trend Number 4: Photo in the Style of Deadpan
Good lighting and composition are usually on the list of those things that we, photographers, most of all. Despite the fact that the trend number 4 does not imply complete neglect of the photographs, it stands out with a rather peculiar aesthetic that you rarely see on the stock photo – for quite understandable reasons.
But the question is: how to apply it in practice? In our trend review, we’ve already mentioned how and how much a deadpan photo affects user content and brought a great example from the food photo genre. The photo in the style of Deadpan goes far beyond its niche – in fact, it can be highlighted in a separate style. You just need to study the question and master a couple of good old techniques. What is interesting, photo Andreas Gursky “Reno II” (The most expensive photo in the world) was removed in the style of Deadpan.
Trend Number 5: Video as a Communication Tool
Technologies don’t stand still, and video is now more popular than ever. Considering how firmly our daily life is inserted, the theme of the role of video as a communication tool in stock photography turns out to be quite poorly.
This is a simple trend that doesn’t take up much space in your portfolio – it shows how we use video for communication and self-expression, what emotions they are experiencing when communicating with loved ones, as this concept is reflected in a professional context. If you don’t have videos in your portfolio – it’s never too late to start.
