Photography Trends & Social Media in 2019

December 25, 2018

 

This year, I became far more active in photography for social media purposes rather than for concert photography. Since then, I’ve been more on the observing side of how the years trends developed and had a chance to observe where these photography trends were going into 2019. To top things off, with the amount of concert photographers using Social Media for exposure, it’s easier than ever to see these trends across the board as well as gain inspiration and expand your talents with new techniques.

Photography Presets & Textures

The preset trend was primarily started by travel bloggers and influencers in order to create an aesthetic feel to their Instagram feed. This eventually led to foodies, nano-influencers, and corporate brands to do the same, and slightly recently, presets have presented themselves in concert photography social media accounts. These presets set the mood for your photographs, and through photoshop, you can add finishing touches to give your photographs a more authentic feel by adding textures.

One of my favorite concert photographers that uses both techniques in the majority of her pictures is Andrea Gonar. The picture used in this example is from her work photographing Mexican rock band Beta at House of Vans Sessions MX.

Within the fashion industry and as part of my featured image on this blog post, the New EGG Magazine from Japan is actively using social media and these same types of presets for their editorial work. You can see samples of their images here where New EGG model Hitoe is featured as part of Oricon News’ Published Photos.

Social Media Marketing experts are always ahead of the trends as well. My favorite and very good friend, Sey Michelle, works with different presets which she sells on her website. Taking advantage of certain tones and colors can say a lot about the image you post on social media and your portfolio.

 

The (Continuing) Rise of Video & Cinematography

Animation of any kind is on the rise – whether it’s as simple as animated elements and captions, stop motion, or actual video; We’re bound to see more of it this coming year. Concert photographers haven’t taken to actual videos yet, though a lot of bands and musicians are combining photography and video into their social media accounts whether it’s footage from the audience or press; and while this is still the early stages of stop motion making a comeback, you can see a great example of it over on León Ramirez’s IG account featuring Say Ocean Band.

Photo Double Exposure

Even though concert photographers haven’t jumped on the animation train, an alternative has been trending: double exposure photography. Double exposure has been around for quite some time, and there are two ways to achieve the effect: manually or digitally and concert photographers seem to enjoy doing both. One of my favorite examples for this is Daniel Patlan‘s account: He combines tones, textures, and the double exposure and without question raises the standard for concert photographers everywhere.

The really cool thing about double exposure is that you don’t always have to double up on the element by using a person (like Daniel’s example). Another favorite is Fernando Pacheco‘s photo of MACMORFI where the repeated elements are the stage lights. You can see what I mean here.

On Being Human

One of my latest favorite trends has been humanizing the band or musician you’re shooting; That’s actually one thing I loved so much about Japanese magazines rather than Western media; Photographers in Japan always show the human side of whomever they’re shooting in an attempt to show that they’re just people like us. We often feel starstruck when meeting bands we admire, and sometimes feel they’re an impossible reach from us, very often forgetting how humble they can truly be.

As a photographer, my favorite thing is to show just how much bands and musicians love music and their audience. I consider that, a job well done.

Humanizing bands and musicians is becoming more popular as time keeps passing. Whether it’s through audience shots at the end of a gig, shots between songs and audience interaction; it’s all done with the same goal. Another type of photo I’ve observed is candid shots of the musicians before and after gigs – these are slightly more common.

 

These are only a few of the many trends coming up for this 2019. What are your favorites?

About

Danyy here! Most times you can find me at the photo pit, other times you can find me babbling on about all things Gyaru.

Generational shit. . I’ve been obsessed with the Generational shit.
.
I’ve been obsessed with the 80’s and 90’s for as long as I can remember. Anyway, found a pretty cool retro MTV shirt and decided to try to do some vivid makeup.
The pandemic feels like… ↑↑↑ Can we talk f The pandemic feels like… ↑↑↑
Can we talk for a minute about my obsession with pop culture and (vintage) horror? 😩💕

I used to love horror movies as a child, literally all of the classics of the 80’s and 90’s! I probably saw the Exorcist movies more than I knew how to count before I was 6 years old, lol. I’m not as huge of a fan as I used to be, especially for the newer Hollywood films, but you can never beat a classic.

My most “recent” memory is going to my favorite bar @yuccataproom for Halloween and drinking while watching a horror movie on the big TV. With Inktober as well, @creeptoberclub is hosted by the talented @tragicgirls.co and @classycreeps (and the way I discovered my obsession for this art style).

I’d actually had made it my mission back in October when I was following the Creeptober Club that I would purchase their artwork the moment I felt that I was financially stable enough to do so, and with the project of revamping my room completely and giving it life plus the pandemic and the pinch that many small businesses are in, I couldn’t think of a better way to support two of my favorite artists than by re-doing my room with their artwork. 🥰

PS: Going back to the topic of classics, I highly recommend any of the old black and white horror movies! And if you’re not big on horror, especially with what Hollywood puts out nowadays, I greatly recommend the horror movies that Abbott and Costello starred in. My favorite one is Abbott & Costello Meet the Mummy!

Did I mention I’m in love with my bedroom’s ne Did I mention I’m in love with my bedroom’s new look? 🥰 Here’s a look into what the bed area looks like now.

Details ↓↓↓
☆ I added stripes to my wall, because for some reason I’ve been really into gothic decor. I don’t even know if you can fully call it that due to what my theme looks like now but I was very inspired by #beetlejuice when I did these walls. I currently have 2 accent walls and they were super easy to do.

☆ I’ve got way too many clothes and had never had a chance to really wear my @bear gear (with exception of my hoodie. I swear I could live in it and be happy), so I decided to buy frames from @ikeausa to display the two shirts I bought during the DEAD TO THE WORLD tour.

☆ Speaking of IKEA, I wanted a fresh new look for my bed so I got this super cute, pink duo-tone duvet cover and these very cool throw pillows to line the top of my bed. They really complete the look I was going for!

☆ Since I’ve been going stir-crazy without being able to travel and was supposed to make my way to NYC for my birthday back in March, most of my free time has been spent looking at my old travel pictures. My favorite NYC moment was when I went to the Blondie mural that’s near what used to be CBGB&OMFUG. By the way, the mural here used to be a Joey Ramone one (which is what I was hoping I’d find) until I found out that it got replaced with Blondie. Although I love The Ramones, I’m pretty in love with this mural’s design.

☆ Keeping up with my vintage horror obsession, I purchased a few art pieces from @classycreeps and @tragicgirls.co! I absolutely love their designs and style, and luckily the colors of the prints go well with the theme I was going for (which was after I bought these 😅). I’ll take a better picture of the entire area since there are 7 prints in total.

☆ Last but not least, I purchased these buttons from @omocat quite a few years ago. I hadn’t thought of putting good use to them until now. ✨

I’m back! It’s been a good minute, hasn’t it I’m back! It’s been a good minute, hasn’t it? Between the pandemic, my business, and a few other things, I haven’t had the opportunity to be as active as I’d like to be on here. So what’s changed? ↓↓↓

☆ I’m on a pretty nifty content calendar system specifically for Gyaru and my own interests; This was created and provided by my business @SavageSirens. It’ll be the first time I’m fully merging my own personal interests outside of the Gyaru fashion and subculture.

☆ #ThePandemicMadeMeDoIt: I revamped my room and it’s now got a fresh, new, ⚡️ELECTRIC⚡️look to it. I can’t wait to talk more about this, but in the meantime, here’s a closeup of my framed @bear t-shirt from the DEAD TO THE WORLD tour. 😍

☆ As of the end of May, I started going on this huge spree of supporting small businesses, especially POC-owned. I’ve posted a few stories of items I’ve purchased already but I can officially make posts about them properly as they deserve.

Did I mention I miss O’ahu a lot? I finally made Did I mention I miss O’ahu a lot? I finally made a blog post about it!
.
Check it out for recommendations, more pictures, and if that’s not enough, head on over to my Instagram stories for a full spam of absolutely everything from that trip! 🌺 🏝 ✨ .
Have you been to O’ahu before? What did you think about it?

Waikiki sunsets are amazing. ✨ . Hawai’i has b Waikiki sunsets are amazing. ✨ .
Hawai’i has been a dream destination for me that was always slightly out of reach. This year before the travel restrictions, I was able to go for a full week while attending a design conference.
.
I’m hopeful that I’ll go back to visit soon! Though I spent most of my time within Waikiki, there’s so much that’s still left to explore. 🌺 🏝 🌊

One thing that really frustrates me is that I don’t have a makeup routine. I just kind of… go with whatever at the time and never can I actually recreate the same look I had a few days ago.
.
Since I work from home, I don’t really have chances to go out and dress up like  I used to anyway, so I’ve been living it up in zero makeup and pj’s all day every day.
.
Now that the セレブーGAL guide is out, I’ve got half a mind to order a new tracksuit too (because yes, I own a Juicy Couture tracksuit from wayyy back in the day).
.
Anyway, here’s my face from a couple of days ago. 🌺 ✨ .

Blog post UP! ↑↑ I may have gone a teeny tiny Blog post UP! ↑↑ I may have gone a teeny tiny bit overboard on this guide but the Serebu Gyaru guide is finally up and running!
.
I wrote about this on one of my previous posts and I really wanted to get this guide going with the different ways to carry Serebu GAL style alongside a few tips. ✨
.
I’m trying to keep a similar format to the original guide which is the Old School Gyaru one, so you can expect more guides in this same style too!
.
Anyway whether you love 90’s-00’s fashion or the more modern and sometimes elegant (life)styles, you’ll want to give this a read!
.
Also per request, I’m already planning out the next guide so stay excited!

Blog post UP! ↑↑ New blog post, kind of! A lot Blog post UP! ↑↑ New blog post, kind of! A lot of new followers despite my inactivity so hi there! I’m Danyy.
.
I’ve been in the gaijin gyaru community since around 2007 or so, but I’ve never been quite the participant. My favorite style technically is kurogyaru and favorite gal brand is D.I.Aspec (RIP).
.
For quite a while, I’ve been into oldschool gyaru style (late 90’s early to mid 2000s). My favorite western brands tend to be surf ones.
.
I’m a lover of knowledge, especially when it comes to gyaru subculture and fashion, and while I’m super inconsistent in posting, I really hope the information from my posts makes it worthwhile!
.
Please tell me about yourself! ↓↓
