One of the biggest trends today is the rise of short-form content platforms like TikTok, which are significantly impacting the traditional film industry. With people consuming more bite-sized videos, many filmmakers now focus on how to capture and hold viewers’ attention quickly. There’s a growing pressure to cater to audiences’ preferences and create content that grabs them within the first few seconds, which challenges the slower, more traditional storytelling methods. If we look into those top rated shows or apps, it is not hard to find out that the audiences prefer lighter, funny, short content compared to serious, thoughtful topics. Read more>>

The biggest trend I’m seeing in the creative cultural arts industry is an over-reliance on artificial intelligence and a decrease in human-to-human interactions. It concerns me that generative AI and other forms of the technology have been rolled out too rapidly upon a world population that’s not prepared to balance the possible benefits or potential harm of its widespread unchecked implementation. Potential benefits when it comes to enhancing efficiency are unquestionable, but factors like the reduction of self-reliance and loss of empathy and jobs are too quickly overlooked. Read more>>

I wouldn’t say there’s one “biggest” trend at the moment, but as a creative field, the biggest challenge in wedding photography is that it’s constantly evolving. When I first started in this industry, my focus was on capturing sharp, crisp images. But after a year or two, blurry and shaky photos started to become popular, and before I knew it, everyone was doing it. I won’t lie—I tried it too, at weddings and engagements. However, over time, I realized that there’s a time and place for that style. At certain moments, it really captures the essence of the moment, but in most cases, it just ended up looking blurry and out of focus. Read more>>

Fast fashion seems to have been here for a minute, but now I am starting to slowly see that go away. Primarily because society is becoming more educated about what is made and placed in their clothing and how it is made. It is becoming more and more of a topic on people’s minds. Read more>>
