Sarah Hermans Photographs Raw Shots of Girls Next Door

— May 26, 2011 — Fashion
I love the grainy, raw quality of Sarah Hermans' photographic works. This natural aesthetic gives each image a rather retro look that makes everything look so wonderfully and sweetly timeless.

Known for her untouched photographs, Sarah Hermans is proud of her organic shots. So proud, in fact, that it has compelled her to write a blurb on her site urging those who write about her work not to tamper with her candid images.

Based in Belgium and only 21-years -old, Sarah Hermans' work has already been featured in a number of publications including Magnificent Magazine, Waterfall Magazine, All Things Ordinary, I love fake magazine and Brick magazine. Considering that Sarah Hermans has only been photographing for a couple of years, that's highly impressive.
Trend Themes
1. Raw Photography - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop editing software that can preserve the raw and organic look of photographs while still allowing for minor adjustments.
2. Nostalgic Aesthetics - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a digital camera or smartphone app that automatically applies retro filters and effects in real-time, capturing the nostalgic aesthetic of past eras.
3. Unfiltered Authenticity - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design a social media platform that encourages and rewards users for sharing unedited and candid photos, promoting a more authentic online presence.
Industry Implications
1. Photography - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new camera equipment or accessories that enhance the ability to capture raw and organic images without the need for extensive post-processing.
2. Art and Design - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a marketplace platform that connects artists and designers specializing in nostalgic and retro aesthetics with potential buyers looking for unique and vintage-inspired works.
3. Social Media - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build a social media analytics tool that accurately measures and analyzes the engagement and impact of unfiltered and authentic content, helping businesses tailor their marketing strategies.
