See authenticity to more natural looks, a colorful world, and a more eco-friendly world. Welcome to a more inclusive photography landscape. Along with masks, I feel that these will be the photo trends for 2021





Authenticity and Diversity

The past few years’ ‘fake news’ movement has paved the way for content creators. They’re now publishing authentic and diverse photos. The trend is one that is inclusive to all walks of life. Think of movies from 2018, such as Black Panther, Green Book, or Crazy Rich Asians. Such successes have come from the content that the audience has been craving for some time now. Photographers intend on being inclusive this year. They’re evolving with a rich and diverse workflow. We may see some works of art come from this year’s photo trends.


Vibrant Color

Photo trends often dictate color trends. You may know by now that Pantone’s 4052 Classic Blue was named the color for the year of 2020. Be ready to photograph and see more loud and vibrant colors in 2021. Let your photos pop this year. You’re likely to see many vibrant colors, especially from primary colors. The other plus side to the brighter color photo trend is the ability to grab attention. Grab attention on social media, blogs, and in marketing. Most users are often sensitive and more receptive to this photo trend.



Eco-friendly travel

We depend on technology. Cities are getting larger and smart cities are popping up all over the world. We start to feel distant from the natural world. Many corporations are partnering up to be more environmentally friendly. Expect to see the same natural travel trend in photos. Millennials are becoming more eco-conscious. They are taking the environment into consideration when traveling. They’re looking to make less of a negative impact on the planet. Look for them to also have a more emotional connection to the places they go. And take photos as they travel more consciously.

Social Causes (less distance)

Clean beauty, social justice, sustainability is all on the minds of everyone in 2020. We’re about to see a social cause approach to photos in 2021. Look to see more photography in eco-friendly schemes. Ethically-sourced product imagery, and sourced products are at the forefront of photography. Looking to get involved? Find what you are passionate about and create art around your social cause.

Everything is about to look more real, and more natural in many ways. Along with more natural photography comes more emotion. You will also see some more simplicity for photo trends this year. Stock photos are about to look less cliche and more natural as a photo trend this year.
