Photography Trends 2020

Everything you need to know to create the crispiest designs and stay at the top of the visual game this year, is right here and all beautifully illustrated with premium images. Some trends will be expected, and some might surprise you.

1.Storytellers

Images do tell stories and there will be plenty of visual storytelling in 2020. The need to have my, your, his or her story heard will translate into unique images of individuals as well as atypical ways of photographing them. Forget the usual pose, let the story unfold!

2.Realism

The concept of beauty is being renegotiated. Particularly that kind of perfection achieved through post effects is quickly exposed as a marketing tool and increasingly loses its radiance. Instead, the camera shows the un-edited beauty of imperfection, strangeness, otherness, and diversity that is given to all creatures.

3.Mental Health Awareness

As the stigma and prejudice around mental health issues are left behind and the importance of mental wellbeing reaches mainstream communication, photography will need to reflect this topic more, and in a real, honest way that invites to the conversation.

4.360º Photography

Given that Virtual Reality, or VR, is on the rise in many other areas of technology such as video games and films, it is no surprise that it has found its way into photography. It will take on a slightly different form however, instead of VR headsets and virtual worlds, we would more likely see 360 photography start to rise in popularity.

5.Express Yourself

Thanks to social media, people are more public and open than ever when it comes to expressing their feelings. The human need to share a full, honest range of raw emotions is now mainstream. Consumers want to see themselves represented authentically. That includes the way they feel and express themselves. This is the newest visual form of “inclusivity.”
