Globalised World

More and more, the world is becoming a global village. Increasing networking makes it possible to share ideas and experiences, to learn and to benefit from each other. More than ever, people have access to expertise and support they need. Also in photography and image production, for example in outsourcing the image processing. Which means an enormous improvement in image quality.

Real and Unfiltered

The trend towards authenticity from 2017 will continue in 2018. Diversity and authenticity will be celebrated. Images will be more spontaneous and natural. And show real people, with real emotions and rough edges. Nowadays flaws can be fixed fast and easy by using filter functions. Appealing and exciting means the highest quality, but not perfect. People want to identify themselves with the images.

Back to the origin

In uncertain times we look back to the past. Images combine old techniques with new technologies, old with new, seeking inspiration and ideas in history. For example, are inspired by classical art. Reinterpret well-tried motif. And thus preserve valuables from the past.

Digital and Reality

Digital techniques make it possible to combine reality and imagination. Which leads to breathtaking and creative pictures. At the same time, new technologies such as drones, 3D or augmented reality show new perspectives. And show things in pictures that we would not be able to see otherwise.

Silence and Serenity

Hustle and bustle determine our daily lives. This increases our desire for peace and deceleration. In 2018, this will be shown in images that focus on naturalness and discover nature as a source of productivity and creativity. Fascinating landscapes, soothing still lifes and more satisfy our need for serenity. As well as natural elements such as tree bark, leaves and swirling water that serve as a template for shapes, patterns and colours.
